Works by Samuel Beckett translated into Persian

TEHRAN – Persian translations of three works by the Irish avant-garde writer Samuel Beckett (1906–1989), have recently been completed.

 

“Molloy” (1951), “Malone Dies” (1951) and “The Unnamable” (1953) have been translated into Persian by Soheili Somi. The first has recently been published by the Salis company and the next two will come out soon.

 

Beckett’s works offer a bleak, tragicomic outlook on human nature, often coupled with black comedy and gallows humor.
