Summary of this Book... | ||
"The storyline evoles around two seemingly homekless men waiting for someone - or something - named Godot. Vladimir and Estragon wait near a three on a barren stretch of road, inhabiting a drama spun from their own consciousness. The result is a comical wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes, and nonsense, which has been interpreted as a sonber summation of mankind's inexhaustible search for meaning." | ||
