One problem with Beckett is the temptation to weigh everything against Waiting for Godot, and it's difficult for many things to meet that standard. This is, however, a well written, if somewhat strange, work that contains the seed of many of his later works (including the fact that the main family is named Krap). The plot revolves around a young man who has decided the key to freedom is to leave off contact with the world altogether, and hole up in his room in an attempt to be free even of himself. The strange, half-surreal characters that populate Beckett's plays are in evidence here, along with situations that fall just short of ordinary, just enough touch of the odd to be absurdist. Longer than most of his other works, it is nevertheless worth a look. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"Just before he wrote the classic Waiting for Godot, Samuel Beckett wrote another play, entitled Eleutheria. The legend runs that Suzanne Descheveaux-Dumesnil, Beckett's wife, presented the great French director Roger Blin with his choice of two plays: one, Waiting for Godot and the other - Eleutheria. The play with five actors and two acts won out over the one with seventeen characters and elaborate, and numerous, scene changes. Eleutheria then disappeared for some forty years, until the day Samuel Beckett placed a manuscript into the hands of his old friend and original American publisher, Barney Rosset, and told him it was his." "As Beckett scholars, among them James Knowlson and John Spurling, have noted, elements in Eleutheria prefigure many of the themes and characters of Beckett's most important works. Beyond the historical interest of this "lost" work by one of the century's great writers, there is the mesmerizing quality of the master playwright's language. His unmatched Gaelic wit and grace is evident even in this, perhaps the least-known of his completed works."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
