When war breaks out in Europe in 1939, a young, unknown writer - Samuel Beckett - journeys from his home in neutral Ireland to conflict-ridden Paris and is drawn into the maelstrom of war. Here is a remarkable story of survival and determination, and a portrait of the extremes of human experience alchemized into timeless art.Paris, 1939: The pavement rumbles with the footfall of Nazi soldiers marching along the Champs Elysees. A young writer, recently arrived from Ireland to make his mark, smokes one last cigarette with his lover before the city they know is torn apart. Soon, he will put is own life and those of his loved ones in mortal danger by joining the Resistance...Spies, artists, deprivation, danger and passion: this is a story of life at the edges of human experience, and of how one man came to translate it all into art.
