Samuel Beckett
Samuel Beckett was an influential Irish playwright, novelist, and poet, renowned for his work in the Theater of the Absurd. Born in 1906, Beckett's most famous play, 'Waiting for Godot', revolutionized modern theater with its minimalist style and existential themes. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1969, and his exploration of the human condition through fragmented narratives and bleak humor has left a lasting impact on literature and drama.
