  • Samuel Beckett

    Author

    Samuel Beckett was born in Foxrock, County Dublin, on April 13, 1906. He was the second of two sons of a middle-class Protestant couple. He studied at Earlsfort House in Dublin, and then at Portora Royal School in Enniskillen (where Oscar Wilde had attended). A well-rounded athlete, Beckett excelled especially in cricket, tennis, and boxing in his school days. In 1947, he wrote his first play, ELEUTHERIA, which he would not allow to be published during his lifetime. Between 1948 and 1949, he wrote WAITING FOR GODOT. His last major work, the prose fiction “Stirrings Still,” was written in 1986. In the same year, Beckett began to suffer from emphysema. After his first hospitalization, he wrote in bed his final work, the poem “What is the Word.” Moved into a nursing home, his deteriorating health prevented him from writing, and his efforts were given instead to translation of his works. He died December 22, 1989.
