Samuel Beckett's groundbreaking novel, *Molloy*, published in 1951, stands as a seminal work of modernist and absurdist literature. It is the first part of his acclaimed trilogy, followed by *Malone Dies* and *The Unnamable*, and exemplifies Beckett's unique narrative style. The novel follows the wanderings of its titular character, Molloy, and later, the detective Moran, presenting a fragmented, introspective, and often darkly humorous exploration of identity, meaning, and the human condition. Beckett's distinctive prose, marked by its bleak wit and philosophical depth, solidified his reputation, ultimately contributing to his Nobel Prize in Literature in 1969, recognizing his profound contributions to drama and prose that, in the words of the Nobel committee, 'in new forms for the novel and drama, in the destitution of modern man acquire their elevation'.
