Death of a Salesman (Penguin Plays)

This Master Piece has won Best Play on Broadway five times with five different productions. Like Shakespeare, it will never be old. It strikes a chord deep inside the human Soul and leaves us breathless.

read the text at least five times. watched countless adaptations performed on the stage and for film. so many nuances. but the original text is a must-have to go along with watching the play or movie. For viewing, the Dustin Hoffman and John Malkovich version is phenomenal. and whatever you think Arthur Miller was trying to say, is what he was trying to say. no one's interpretation is more valid than your own. Although, if anyone ever calls you Biff, and means it as an insult, they clearly haven't studied the work. If you wanna insult someone, call them Hap. Not Biff, and not Willy.

1949 play about the ultimate disappointment to the soul in the driving force in the growth of American society - then and now - the adrenalin of making the sale and the deceit and delusions accompanying it.

Read easy purchase easy read. A real classic book my son and I really enjoyed it. Not enough young kids read the classics and it is amazing how much they enjoy a book like this once they get into it.

Did you know that writer of this book was husband of Marylin Monroe. I did not know that until recently. The book kept me slightly interested. maybe because it was talking about topic very close to me: American Dream. As an immigrant who became American citizen and achieved some things that I could not achieve in my country I could relate to this book a lot.
