American dramatist Arthur Miller was born in New York City in 1915. In 1938 Miller won awards for his comedy The Grass Still Grows. His major achievement was Death of a Salesman, which won the 1949 Pulitzer Prize for drama and the 1949 New York Drama Critics' Circle Award. The Crucible was aimed at the widespread congressional investigation of subversive activities in the US; the drama won the 1953 Tony Award. Miller's autobiography, Timebends: A Life was published in 1987.
The Crucible is a powerful indictment of McCarthyism and the 'frontier mentality' of Cold War America, published in Penguin Modern Classics.
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.
If you enjoyed The Crucible, you might like Miller's Death of a Salesman, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.
'One of a handful of great plays that will both survive the twentieth century and bear witness to it'

薩勒姆的女巫,又叫做煉獄,是阿瑟·米勒于1953年根據發生在美國馬塞諸塞州的獵巫案這一真實事件創作的一處四幕話劇。這起獵巫事件從1692年1月肇始,直到1957年州政府正式向受害者道歉,才算真正完結。米勒的這出戲細緻地表現了這起獵巫案件從開始到對指控行巫的無辜者的絞刑這...
评分刚开始看的时候感觉很匪夷所思,看不太进去... 因为学业要求一定要看 坚持读完 看到第三幕和第四幕的时候觉得心里还是挺悸动的 关于宗教类的书籍作为not religions,但还是可以引发思考人性的 是悲剧,但是很值得看的一本.

评分阿瑟·米勒 根据真实的萨勒姆女巫案改编而成,阿瑟米勒笔下的萨勒姆小镇,人人为了自保而虚构罪名,诬陷旁人,显然也是对当时美国盛行的麦卡 锡主义的暗讽。由几个女孩子引起的女巫案为什么最后演化为全镇的悲剧,涉及越来越多的无辜者,人性的意义和价值在当时的萨勒姆...
评分美国高二英语教材 电影有混乱的中字 但是没有中译本 难道是讽刺麦卡锡主义?不对啊 朋友的敌人是我们的敌人 所以应该很开心才对 还是一不小心它也隐射我们的历史? 很期待有人去译 不嫌弃也可以合作
这部戏讲的是人类的历史
评分—What did you see? —I see you pull down the heaven and raising up a hell!
评分人性的善恶
评分About lie and fear.
评分比影射麦卡锡主义更深广的政治寓言。It’s better to tell a lie when you absolutely believe it.拷问的或许仍是人性。因为政治是社会的产物,而人际关系的本质即依赖于社会与政治运作。也许看完我应当脊背发凉,可是我老早就不在乎了。
