I love audiobooks. Just listening to this one:
http://www.theaudiobookstore.com/samuel ... 00016.aspx
which i read and loved in German, but never in English (truth to be told: it's above my level of English).
30 bucks is quite some money for a few, so you can try this link:
http://jalu.servebeer.com/share/I will leave it for a couple of days.
Or try to find a free version online (there must be one, else i wouldn't have got it).
If there is need for it, i can upload it to archive.org. Just tell me you want it there.
It sure is worth it. You might want to download it now and listen to it whenever you got time (and be it in 10 years). Or give it to someone else, who is interested in such, as a "present".
In my book Beckett has been very important ( i would say: "he _is very important", but for that i would need to know way more writers). When all seemed lost, after WW2 and mainly the Holocaust, he created a form of humanism the world has not seen yet. The detailed explanation of it can be found in the reasoning for his noble prize (just think of misery, of vulnerability, of being naked and weak, the complete lack of pride and make all that the very reason to like humans just the way they are. Not their "intellect" or their "culture" or such, but the very opposite. He made them shine in what they usually are ashamed of. Around the lines of that).
I hope it will give a bit of pleasure for at least a few people. If not that is fine too ...
