Happy Days, Paperback/Samuel Beckett

Momentan nu sunt oferte disponibile.

In "Happy Days," Samuel Beckett pursues his relentless search for the meaning of existence, probing the tenuous relationships that bind one person to another, and each to the universe, top time past and time present. Once again, stripping theater to its barest essentials, "Happy Days" offers only two characters: Winnie, a woman of about fifty, and Willie, a man of about sixty.

Willie lives and moveson all foursbehind the mound, appearing intermittently and replying only occasionally into Winnie s long monologue, but the knowledge of his presence is a source of comfort and inspiration to her, and doubtless the prerequisite for all her happy days.
