Synopsis "Los Huesos de eco (in Spanish)"

El 25 de septiembre de 1933, la editorial londinense Chatto & Windus aceptó publicar el libro de cuentos de Samuel Beckett, Belacqua.

En una carta al autor, el editor Charles Prentice le preguntó si no podría agregar un cuento adicional, que ayudaría al libro aumentando un poco más la cantidad de páginas. Beckett aceptó y escribió lo que llamó un relato de despedida, titulado Los huesos de Eco, que cerraría el volumen.

Sin embargo, tres días después de haber recibido el texto, Prentice, en una carta fechada el 13 de noviembre de 1933, lo rechazó alegando que era una pesadilla y que perjudicaría mucho las ventas.

Belacqua se publicó el 24 de mayo de 1934 tal como Beckett lo había enviado en un principio.

En las cartas que su editor le manda —incluidas al final de este libro— hay una confesión lapidaria:

“Esto ha sido un desastre terrible, de mi parte, no de la tuya, por favor. Pero tengo que hacerme cargo. Un error, un acto de ceguera, como se quiera llamarlo.

Lo único que puedo alegar en mi defensa es que el contacto gélido con esos dedos resucitados fue demasiado para mí.
Estoy sentado en el suelo, con la cabeza cubierta de cenizas.”
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett was an Irish playwright, novelist, and poet, born on April 13, 1906 in Dublin and died on December 22, 1989 in Paris. He is widely recognized as one of the most influential figures in the theater of the absurd. He studied at Trinity College in Dublin, where he specialized in Romance languages. After a period as a reader at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, he settled permanently in France, a country that deeply marked his life and work.

Beckett wrote in both English and French, and his style is characterized by minimalism, black humor, and the exploration of themes such as despair, time, and the human condition. His most famous work, Waiting for Godot (1953), marked a milestone in contemporary theater by subverting traditional dramatic conventions. Other notable works include Endgame, Happy Days, and the novel trilogy consisting of Molloy, Malone Dies, and The Unnamable.

During World War II, he participated in the French Resistance. In 1969, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Beckett left a legacy that continues to challenge and inspire generations of readers and viewers.
