'Molloy' is Samuel Beckett's best-known novel, and his first published work to be written in French. It brings a world into existence with finicking certainties, at the tip of whoever is holding the pencil, and trades larger uncertainties with the reader.
The aged and bedridden protagonist (Molloy / Moran / Malone) awaits death, telling stories about other personifiations of himself to pass the time.
"Con El innombrable se cierra la gran trilogía iniciada con Mohillo y continuada con Malone muere ambas publicadas asimismo en esta colección, punto culminante del largo proceso de desintegración y pérdida del yo a través del cual los personajes de Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) quedan reducidos al discurso inconexo de una conciencia separada del mundo exterior y disociada incluso de su propia base corporal. Alegoría grotesca y patética de la impotencia humana, el ente anónimo, paralítico e informe que monologa de manera obsesiva a lo largo de las páginas de la novela arrastra una existencia puramente vegetativa, condenado por siempre a escuchar el resonar incesante de su propia voz. Nadie ha logrado expresar con tanta fuerza señala Frederich R. Kari en las páginas que sirven de prólogo a esta edición la desesperación de una época que pone en duda no sólo ya el sentido de la existencia, sino incluso su misma realidad." -- Provided by publisher
Few works of contemporary literature are so universally acclaimed as central to our understanding of the human experience as Nobel Prize winner Samuel Beckett’s famous trilogy. Molloy, the first of these masterpieces, appeared in French in 1951. It was followed seven months later by Malone Dies and two years later by The Unnamable. All three have been rendered into English by the author.
The first novel of Samuel Beckett's mordant and exhilirating midcentury trilogy intoduces us to Molloy, who has been mysteriously incarcerated, and who subsequently escapes to go discover the whereabouts of his mother. In the latter part of this curious masterwork, a certain Jacques Moran is deputized by anonymous authorities to search for the aforementioned Molloy. In the trilogy's second novel, Malone, who might or might not be Molloy himself, addresses us with his ruminations while in the act of dying. The third novel consists of the fragmented monologue - delivered, like the monologues of the previous novels, in a mournful rhetoric that possesses the utmost splendor and beauty - of what might or might not an armless and legless creature living in an urn outside an eating house. Taken together, these three novels represent the high-water mark of the literary movement we call Modernism. Within their linguistic terrain, where stories are taken up, broken off, and taken up again, where voices rise and crumble and are resurrected, we can discern the essential lineaments of our modern condition, and encounter an awesome vision, tragic yet always compelling and always mysteriously invigorating, of consciousness trapped and struggling inside the boundaries of nature.
