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'

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...
評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
評分薩勒姆的女巫,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...
評分“那不过是闹着玩罢了,叔叔!” 是的,这一切不过闹着玩罢了,萨勒姆小镇的这出“事故”本就是一群孩子有趣的玩意,可一旦有人当真,魔鬼就降临到人间。先是大人们的当真,确定了上帝敌人的痕迹,敌人“理应”成为大家的“公敌”;随后,被逼无奈的女孩们努力(其...
評分四月的最後一本書,也是平成的最後一本書。從過年拖到現在總算讀完瞭,閱讀的過程簡單來說就是百爪撓心,一直有什麼東西在抓著你不肯鬆開。讀到最後的echoes down the corridor纔算是真正放下瞭。Salem的故事聽得太多瞭—從硃老師講麥卡锡主義,到Fantastic Beasts裏的witch-hunting,再到A Discovery of Witches裏的Bishop—,Arthur Miller的改寫和演繹固然無法讓我看到這一曆史事件的全貌。However, this great play not only survives the twentieth century but also bears witness to the next one.
评分哎呦媽呀!!!!簡直欲罷不能,把老版本的看完,更想看RA的,今年三月份一定去去去去去去去!!!!!!!!!!!!
评分群體精神弱勢是信仰控製的天堂,也是其走嚮自我毀滅的墓誌銘。讓時間來驗證一切吧,曆史不停的重演也是人類動物性的必然錶現,呼喚寬容和謙遜,也許還不如等待其自然運轉的結果,拉長足夠時間來看,也許最後大傢都是無意義的運動罷瞭。
评分英語課上完完整整演完的(?親身演繹便可摧毀一切想象哈哈哈哈哈)。簡短有力的劇本,敘事完整,人間的欲望、掙紮、善惡紛呈其中。
评分Sickening, terrific, intelligent and overwhelming.
