Produktbeschreibung
German culture intensely influenced the work of Samuel Beckett. This book assesses the author's relationship with German literature, art, and philosophy and recounts the country's reception of his work. A lover of German literature and aspiring art critic, Beckett traveled across Germany during an extremely tumultuous and dangerous time. This volume presents a complete chronology of this journey, which lasted from 1936 to 1937, and describes Beckett's attitudes toward German Romanticism from both a literary and philosophical perspective. As to the German reception of Beckett's work, Theodor W. Adorno's "Versuch, das Endspiel zu verstehen" played a central role. This volume translates and interprets Adorno's notes on "Fin de partie" and "L'Innommable," which comments on the direction of Beckett's "Endspiel" and his relationship with the television and radio station S?ddeutscher Rundfunk (SDR). In conclusion, the collection offers a review of recent German publications on Beckett.
