BECKETT, Samuel
Nouvelles et textes pour rien.
Paris Les Editions de Minuit. 1955. . First edition first impression one of 1100 numbered copies from a total edition of 1130 inscribed by the author; 8vo; publisher's white wrappers printed in black and blue wrappers rather used and marked with some wear to the backstrip.<br /> With the author's signed presentation inscription to the half title page 'for John and Vera affectionately Sam. Paris Nov 1955'. The recipients were Beckett's cousin and his wife. Nouvelles et textes pour rien represented a key transitional stage in Beckett's prose writings. It marks the end of the earlier more comedic work heralding the harsher more obviously troubling later pieces such as 'Comment C'Est' and the 'Foirades'. Presentation copies of this intimacy are uncommon.<br /> Paris, Les Editions de Minuit. 1955. unknown

BECKETT, Samuel
Ohio Impromptu and Catastrophe unpublished bound offprint of typescripts.
1982. S.a. not before 1982. Bound A4 facsimile of typescript; limp faux-leather wrappers secured with two marginal brass fasteners upper cover lettered '""Ohio Impromptu"" ""Catastrophe"" by Samuel Beckett' in gilt 1 f. blue paper bound in after Ohio Impromptu; ff. 1 4; 1 5 printed to rectos only; minor wear to edges and corners; some offsetting to blank versos from the 'sticky' raised ink-surface characteristic of early xerography else internally clean throughout; Beckett's presentation inscription 'for Alan Jean Schneider with love from Sam' to first leaf.Facsimile typescripts of two of Beckett's late plays in a presentation binding warmly inscribed by the author to Alan Schneider - director of the first productions of both works - and his wife Jean.Ohio Impromptu was written late in 1980 for a 1981 symposium in Columbus Ohio to mark the author's seventy-fifth birthday produced at the request of Beckett scholar and Associate Professor of English at Ohio State University Stanley Gontarski. The premiere 9 May 1981 a single performance at the Stadium II Theatre Ohio State was directed by Schneider with David Warrilow as the Reader and Rand Mitchell as the Listener. Onstage both sit at a table the former reading from a book recounting a story of solitude loss and vain consolation. Beckett later disclosed that the 'dear face' evoked by the Reader was that of his wife Suzanne: 'I've imagined her dead so many times. I've even imagined myself trudging out to her grave' conversation with James Knowlson. The play however 'through its visual and verbal imagery . manages to transcend any purely personal inspiration' Knowlson.Writing to Beckett after the premiere Schneider reported that 'the play went very well. Audience response was excellent . The visual image was very strong. The two men completely alike in the coats and wigs which I was luckily able to have made without charge by the best wig-maker in New York. There are some laughs not entirely expected by me related to Listener's knocking wanting Reader to go back in his reading' 16 May 1981. Catastrophe bound here with Ohio Impromptu was written in French in 1982 and translated by Beckett in the same year. Dedicated to Czech dramatist Vaclav Havel it was first performed in French at the Avignon Festival on 21 July 1982 'as part of a tribute by various writers to Vaclav Havel' Beckett to Schneider 22 May 1982. Among the starkest of Beckett's late miniatures it presents a silent passive Protagonist manipulated by a Director and his Assistant who adjust his posture clothing and bearing with clinical precision for an unseen audience. At once a study in political oppression as well as of authorship performance and the ethics of representation the play is 'a fitting tribute to the leader of the Velvet Revolution at a 'turning point' the literal meaning of 'catastrophe' in his own and his country's fortunes' Ackerley and Gontarski.Schneider expressed his enthusiasm for the play noting the suitability of David Warrilow for the Protagonist and proposing a double bill with Ohio Impromptu as 'an interesting contrast of vocal and physical image' 11 July 1982. Beckett agreed Paris 23 July 1982: 'Like your suggestion of doing it with David in conjunction with Impromptu' their correspondence leading to a New York run of Ohio Impromptu Catastrophe and What Where at the Harold Clurman Theatre 15 June 1983-15 April 1984; 394 performances. It is likely that this presentation copy of the typescripts of Ohio Impromptu and Catastrophe was printed in association with the occasion.Provenance: From the library of Alan and Eugenie 'Jean' Schneider; Jean Schneider died in the summer of 2025 at the age of one hundred and one.See Schneider Entrances: An American Directors Journey 1986; Harmon ed.
