‎New York. 1980. Grove Press. 1st Printing. Very Good in Dustjacket. ISBN:0394513940. 63 pages. hardcover. GP-833. Jacket design by Janet Odgis. FROM THE PUBLISHER - COMPANY is the most recent prose work by the Nobel Prize-winning author of WAITING FOR GODOT ENDGAME and other great works of the post-World War II era In Company a man lying on his back in the darkness of an enclosed room hears a voice speaking to him or to some other being. The voice reminisces about significant moments in some person�s life: a young child being scolded by his mother for asking about the distance of the sky a child being born while his father takes a walk to avoid the horrors of childbirth a man wondering whether his lover is pregnant a child being born the day Christ died The relentless voice finally tells the man that words are ending that the idea of �one with you in the dark� is only a fable In the final moment we find the man alone ready for the metaphoric cycle to begin anew. Beckett has reduced the story line of COMPANY to the sparest of prose which in its distilled form accentuates what Alvarado Alvarez calls �his unfailing stylistic control and economy of language his remorseless stripping away of superfluities.� In COMPANY we find the familiar themes from Beckett�s earlier work here reshaped and transfigured in what is probably the most remarkable literary exploration. Samuel Beckett was born on April 13 1906 in Foxrock near Dublin Ireland Just before World War II he took up residence in France and has lived there ever since writing most of his work in French In 1969 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. inventory #1258 ISBN: 0394513940. hardcover‎

"The spectrum of his work was broad encompassing edition binding fine binding and conservation" Verheyen William Anthony Fine Binder. Company is a novella by Samuel Beckett. "In it a man lies on his back in the dark musing about the nature of existence and in particular his own life. While there are several reminiscences about the narrator's own life and these seem to have an autobiographical air about them the main concern seems to be that of the paradox of consciousness itself and the nature of reality. If one is conscious about oneself and comments on the self from within the self then where is the true location of the self Is the mind that examines the self the true 'self' or is the 'self' that is the subject of mind the true self. The mind can set itself aside from and examine the body that houses it the presumed 'soul' contained somewhere within it or indeed any other manifestation of self that the mind cares to focus on. Company seems to ask: 'what is the locus of the self and how should a person proceed in relation to that amorphous and dynamic entity' This relates to Plato's Plato's paradox of the third man argument in which a third self and then another and another ad infinitum is required to explain how a man and the form of man are both man and so on. "Company illustrates clearly the dilemma of the modern 20th century human an existential crisis in which God is dead and life's 'purpose' seems entirely arbitrary. Beckett's solution in Company is to suggest that a plain acceptance of one's temporality is needed in order properly to function. However far from being hopeless such a life is hopeful in that its design is one's own responsibility and not that of some god or fate. Company is a call to action for those who accept the hard facts. 'Get on with it' might be a fitting summation" Wikipedia. CONDITION & DETAILS: Folio. 14 x 11.25 inches. Housed in a simple blue cloth case. Printed by hand on dampened Arches paper by Cheryl Miller L. J. Yanney Kim Merker and Cynthia Rymer included are 13 folio plates. The frontispiece is hand-colored.

‎1980. London: John Calder 1980. 8vo. vellum-backed brown cloth boards lettered in gilt to upper cover and spine; all edges gilt; preserved in matching cloth slipcase; pp. 89 vii; a fine copy in fine slipcase with just one small ink mark to foot of spine and pin-sized red dot to lower cover. First limited edition preceeding the UK and US trade issues and signed by Beckett to the title page. Company was written directly into English hence the lack of translation. Beckett's semi-existentialist novel concerns the protagonist's musings between the paradox of consciousness and the nature of reality. Written in the final years of his life it follows the thoughts which comes "to one on his back in the dark". Proust on whom Beckett had written an essay in 1930 defined the experience of lying in bed before falling asleep as a ‘relaxation of consciousness’ sometimes triggered by the reading of a novel. This might well have been the inspiration for Beckett as Company has been described by some as the closest the author ever came to an autobiography. The reader is allowed glimpses into his life: diving from a tree with his flight broken by branches; amusing his father by imitating his ''chuckle'' and feeling himself in adulthood shadowed by his father's ''shade.'' The book lends itself well to dramatisation and has been regularly adapted into stage performances since its inception many of which involve audience participation. hardcover‎
