It was followed seven months later by \u003ci\u003eMalone Dies\u003c\/i\u003e and two years later by \u003ci\u003eThe Unnamable\u003c\/i\u003e. All three have been rendered into English by the author.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first novel of Samuel Beckett's mordant and exhilarating midcentury trilogy introduces 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the trilogy's second novel, \u003ci\u003eMalone\u003c\/i\u003e, who might or might not be Molloy himself, addresses us with his ruminations while in the act of dying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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 be an armless and legless creature living in an urn outside an eating house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaken 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSamuel Beckett \u003c\/b\u003e(1906-1989), one of the leading literary and dramatic figures of the twentieth century, was born in Foxrock, Ireland and attended Trinity University in Dublin.
