The Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature who “transformed the destitution of man into his exaltation” (The Swedish Academy), Samuel Beckett was one of the most important and influential figures of twentieth-century literature.

Here in a four-volume paperback box set are Beckett’s major works in prose, drama, poetry, and criticism edited by Paul Auster.
