The Nobel Prize-winning writer (2005), Harold Pinter, is primarily known for his plays, while few are aware of his extensive involvement in cinema. This book examines his nearly complete theatrical and cinematic work, from the mid-1940s, when he emerged with short stories and poems, until his death in 2008.

With the help of the Theory of Phenomenology, as articulated by third-generation phenomenologist philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty, the author seeks to illuminate the aspects of Harold Pinter's writing, which is both unique and original, yet often seemingly enigmatic. A valuable book for professionals as well as lovers of theater.
