TEXTS FOR NOTHING AND OTHER SHORTER PROSE, 1950 - 1976
Book ID/图书代码： 04560010B41577
English Summary/英文概要： This is the last of three volumes of shorter prose to be collected in the Faber edition of the works of Samuel Beckett - which already includes the early stories (The Expelled/The Calmative/The End/First Love) and late stories (Company/Ill Seen Ill Said/Worstward Ho/Stirrings Still).
The present edition contains all of the shorter fictions - some of them no longer than a page - written and published by Beckett between 1950 and the mid-1970s. Most were written in French, and include two sequences: Texts for Nothing and Fizzles.
The edition also includes two remarkable independent narratives: From an Abandoned Work and As The Story Was Told. All of these works demonstrate that the short story is one of the recurrent modes of Beckett’s imagination, and occasioned some of his greatest writing.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 這本精選故事集中收納了Samuel Beckett所有的短篇小說，有的只是區區一頁，均為Beckett寫作或出版於二十世紀五十年代至七十年代之間的作品，大多以法文撰寫，由Texts for Nothing和Fizzles兩個部分組成。 此版本還將兩篇非同凡響的故事納入其中，分別是From an Abandoned Work 和As The Story Was Told。所有的這些作品均可以說明Samuel Beckett經常會靈感突發而創作一些短篇故事，其中一些成為後來他最耳熟能詳的作品。(Claire)
