In doing so he chose to revise and eliminate various passages. With side-by-side text, the reader can experience the mastery of Beckett's language and explore its nuances. Upon being asked who Godot is, Samuel Beckett told director Alan Schneider, \"If I knew, I would have said so in the play.\" Although we may never know who we are waiting for, in this special edition we can rediscover one of the most poignant and humorous 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 0802144632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802144638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/13\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.48w x 0.92d\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":44051812745471,"sku":"9780802144638","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8f050dc5-7be5-450d-baf6-a23c5bbb8991.jpg?v=1685015316","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/waiting-for-godoten-attendant-godot-samuel-beckett-9780802144638","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
