Sinopsis
“It is upon this one comedy that Balzac can lay any claims as a dramatic artist.” —The New York Times Originally presented under the title "Mercadet or The Good Businessman," this play in three acts was perhaps the inspiration for Samuel Beckett’s Theatre of the Absurd classic. Yet 102 years before WAITING FOR GODOT rocked the stage, this comedy opened at the Theatre du Gymnase-Dramatique and featured a character named “Godeau” who never appears. A bizarre coincidence? Or just one of life’s little absurdities? Now you can decide for yourself. This edition includes an unpublished letter by Samuel Beckett to the translator.

Acerca del autor
French novelist Honoré de Balzac (1799 – 1850) is best known for the works that comprise his massive "La Comédie Humaine," which influenced many writers, such as Émile Zola, Charles Dickens, Gustave Flaubert, Jack Kerouac and Henry James. Balzac’s plays, however, are today quite obscure, including the odd little comedy "Mercadet," which comes alive in this sublime translation by Mark Axelrod.
