Samuel Beckett was an Irish- French writer; Almost of his writings are written in French, and he himself translated them in English. At the postwar period, he published three "interrelated" novels: Murphy, Malome Dies, and The Unnamable. But Beckett's first successful and recognized work is Waiting for Godot. After gaining international fame, he continued his writing in drama for stage and radio, and fiction. Beckett gets the Noble Prize for literature in1969. His study of Marcel Proust later became one of important elements
in his drama and novel.
Unlike his Irish contemporaries, Beckett particularly focused his writing on the language, the versification of words in the trend of modernism.
