As Clive Barnes wrote, \"Time catches up with genius ... \u003ci\u003eWaiting for Godot\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the masterpieces of the century.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe story revolves around two seemingly homeless men waiting for someone--or something--named Godot. Vladimir and Estragon wait near a tree, inhabiting a drama spun of their own consciousness. The result is a comical wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes, and nonsense, which has been interpreted as mankind's inexhaustible search for meaning. Beckett's language pioneered an expressionistic minimalism that captured the existential post-World War II Europe. His play remains one of the most magical and beautiful allegories of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel Beckett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080214442X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802144423\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e43313 \/ Waiting for Godot\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Samuel Beckett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44053312372991,"sku":"9780802144423","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_42c8ead4-e2cb-446b-a1fe-464f040f14a9.jpg?v=1685023643","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/waiting-for-godot-samuel-beckett-9780802144423","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
