  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;Molloy, the first of the three masterpieces which constitute Samuel Beckett&amp;#8217;s famous trilogy, appeared in French in 1951, followed seven months later by Malone Dies (Malone meurt) and two years later by The Unnamable (L&amp;#8217;Innommable). Few works of contemporary literature have been so universally acclaimed as central to their time and to our understanding of the human experience.&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>
