«Oh les beaux jours suivi de Pas moi» is the theatre volume by Samuel Beckett, published by Les Éditions de Minuit in paperback (95 pages).
This book brings together two plays by Samuel Beckett. In «Oh les beaux jours», Winnie, buried up to her waist in a mound of earth, talks to her husband Willie and clings to small objects and routines to keep her spirits up. In «Pas moi», a mouth lit on stage delivers a monologue.
Samuel Beckett wrote «Oh les beaux jours» in English between 1960 and 1961 and translated it into French; it premiered in 1963 with Madeleine Renaud and Jean-Louis Barrault. «Pas moi» appeared in English in 1973.
Samuel Barclay Beckett was an Irish novelist, playwright, poet, and literary critic. Writing in both English and French, his literary and theatrical works feature bleak, impersonal, and tragicomic episodes of life, coupled with black comedy and literary nonsense. Beckett is widely regarded as one of the most influential and important writers of the 20th century, credited with transforming modern theatre. As a major figure of Irish literature, he is best known for his tragicomedy play Waiting for Godot (1953). For his foundational contribution to both literature and theatre, Beckett received the 1969 Nobel Prize in Literature, "for his writing, which—in new forms for the novel and drama—in the destitution of modern man acquires its elevation."
