Death of a Salesman Appendices Religion, Individualism, and the Social Structure of the United States On the Reception of Death of a Salesman Arthur Miller¿s Life Editorial note Bibliography

Notă biografică

Arthur Miller (17.10.1915 New York ¿ 10.2.2005 in Roxbury), Sohn einer jüdischen Immigrantenfamilie, ist ein amerikanischer Autor und Drehbuchschreiber. Arthur Miller studiert nach der Schule Wirtschaftswissenschaften und Geschichte. Nachdem sein Stück »No Villain« zweifach prämiert wird, belegt er anglistische Literatur und Drama bis 1938 an der University of Michigan. Miller ist ein scharfer Gesellschaftskritiker, der etwa in »Death of a Salesman« (dt. »Tod eines Handlungsreisenden«) die amerikanische Erfolgsgesellschaft anprangert oder in »The Crucible« (dt. »Die Hexenjagd«) mit der Kommunistenverfolgung des US-Senators Joseph McCarthys hart ins Gericht geht. Für sein Engagement wurde Miller 2003 mit dem ¿Jerusalempreis für die Freiheit des Individuums in der Gesellschaft¿ ausgezeichnet. Arthur Miller war fünf Jahre mit Marylin Monroe verheiratet.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Arthur Miller's extraordinary masterpiece, Death of a Salesman changed the course of modern theatre, and has lost none of its power as an examination of American life.

'A man is not an orange. You can't eat the fruit and throw the peel away'
Willy Loman is on his last legs. Failing at his job, dismayed at his the failure of his sons, Biff and Happy, to live up to his expectations, and tortured by his jealousy at the success and happiness of his neighbour Charley and his son Bernard, Willy spirals into a well of regret, reminiscence, and A scathing indictment of the ultimate failure of the American dream, and the empty pursuit of wealth and success, is a harrowing journey. In creating Willy Loman, his destructively insecure anti-hero, Miller defined his aim as being 'to set forth what happens when a man does not have a grip on the forces of life'.


Caracteristici

The commentary includes discussion of the role of capitalism and its impact in the US today, how the issues resonate differently when the actors are not white, and how the play's issues resonate in other countries across the globe

Recenzii

[The book has] extensive but not daunting information under headings such as Historical and Social Context, Genres and Themes and Performance History, among other aspects. It's clearly and accessibly written.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Willy Loman, the protagonist of Death of a Salesman, has spent his life following the American way, living out his belief in salesmanship as a way to reinvent himself. But somehow the riches and respect he covets have eluded him. At age sixty-three, he searches for the moment his life took a wrong turn, the moment of betrayal that undermined his relationship with his wife and destroyed his relationship with Biff, the son in whom he invested his faith. Willy lives in a fragile world of elaborate excuses and daydreams, conflating past and present in a desperate attempt to make sense of himself and of a world that once promised so much.
