A View from the Bridge
Arthur Miller's play A View from the Bridge is a tragic masterpiece of the inexorable unravelling of a man, set in a close-knit Italian-American community in 1950s New York. Eddie Carbone is a longshoreman and a straightforward man, with a strong sense of decency and of honour. For Eddie, it's a privilege to take in his wife's cousins, Marco and Rodolpho, straight off the boat from Italy. But, as his niece Catherine begins to fall for one of them, it's clear that it's not just, as Eddie claims, that he's too strange, too sissy, too careless for her, but that something bigger, deeper is wrong - and wrong inside Eddie, in a way he can't face. Something which threatens the happiness of their whole family.This Penguin Classics edition includes an introduction by the author and a new foreword by actor Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Kein anderer amerikanischer Autor kann auf eine so lange und so tiefe Auseinandersetzung mit dem kulturellen und politischen Leben in den Vereinigten Staaten zurückblicken wie Arthur Miller. Kaum einer hat so früh zu den bekannten Schriftstellern des Landes gehört, auf keinen anderen Intellektuellen hat sich die Neugier der Öffentlichkeit so konzentriert. Beginnend mit Erinnerungen an das New Yorker jüdisch-bürgerliche Elternhaus berichtet er über die Jahre der McCarthy-Ära und die Fünfziger Jahre, in denen er mit seinen Theaterstücken ¿Der Tod des Handlungsreisenden¿ und ¿Hexenjagd¿ zu Amerikas berühmtestem Dramatiker avancierte. Mit großer Einfühlsamkeit schreibt Miller über seine Ehe mit Marilyn Monroe, woraus deutlich wird, welch zentralen Platz er ihr in seinem Leben zuweist.'Arthur Miller hat ein herausragendes Erinnerungsbuch geschrieben, das keineswegs nur die Miller-Philologen, Theaterkritiker, Filmhistoriker und Monroe-Fans interessiert, sondern über weite Strecken eine bewegende Lektüre verspricht und den American Way of Life besser verstehen lehrt.'Frankfurter Rundschau

The Crucible
Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!<BR><BR>In a small tight-knit community, gossip and rumour spread like wildfire, inflaming personal grievances until no-one is safe from accusation and vengeance. <BR><BR>The Crucible is Arthur Miller's classic dramatisation of the witch-hunt and trials that besieged the Puritan community of Salem in 1692. Seen as a chilling parallel to the McCarthyism and repressive culture of fear that gripped America in the 1950s, the play's timeless relevance and appeal remains as strong as when the play opened on Broadway in 1953.<BR><BR>This new edition includes an introduction by Soyica Diggs Colbert, that explores the play's production history as well as the dramatic, thematic, and academic debates that surround it; a must-have resource for any student exploring The Crucible.

The Crucible
Arthur Miller's classic parable of mass hysteria draws a chilling parallel between the Salem witch-hunt of 1692 - 'one of the strangest and most awful chapters in human history' - and the American anti-communist purges led by Senator McCarthy in the 1950s. The story of how the small community of Salem is stirred into madness by superstition, paranoia and malice, culminating in a violent climax, is a savage attack on the evils of mindless persecution and the terrifying power of false accusations.<BR><BR>A depiction of innocent men and women destroyed by malicious rumour, The Crucible is also a powerful indictment of McCarthyism and the 'frontier mentality' of Cold War America.

Homely Girl, A Life
In his long career, Arthur Miller has charted some of the most hidden aspects of the American character, and made us recognize ourselves. With Homely Girl, A Life, he turns his attention to a smaller, more intimate, canvas, but one that in its deceptive delicacy still encompasses a vast range of human fears, ambitions, and desires. Janicethe eponymous homely girlhas hated her face ever since she was a child and her mother held up Ivory Snow advertisements to her, saying, "Now that is beauty." Homely she is, but also fiercely herself. Still,it is not until she falls in love with a blind musician that she feels her full nature unfold in this exquisite portrait of a woman finding a language to describe herself.Flanked by two stories also set in Manhattan, "Fame" and "Fitter's Night," Homely Girl, A Life pays homage to a city constantly reinventing itselfand to the classic Miller themes of work, honor, and identity."Chekhovian . . . deserves praising to the top of the highest skyscraper for its humanity, wit, depth" A.N. Wilson
