Waiting for Godot. London: Faber & Faber, 1956. Second Impression. Pp, 94. Yellow cloth boards in pictorial dust jacket. Off-setting to endpapers, ownership name to front pastedown, but overall a nice copy. Spotting to preliminary leaves, light wear to dust jacket.

Beckett’s masterpiece was first composed and published in French and performed in 1953 at the Theatre de Babylone in Paris.

It would later be translated into English by Beckett himself and published in New York by Grove Press in 1954 & in Britain by Faber in 1956.

Godot established Beckett as ‘the most original and significant dramatist of our time.’
