The Pulitzer Prize-winning tragedy of a salesmanrsquo;s deferred American dream Ever since it was first performed in 1949; Death of a Salesman has been recognized as a milestone of the American theater. In the person of Willy Loman; the aging; failing salesman who makes his living riding on a smile and a shoeshine; Arthur Miller redefined the tragic hero as a man whose dreams are at once insupportably vast and dangerously insubstantial. He has given us a figure whose name has become a symbol for a kind of majestic grandiositymdash;and a play that compresses epic extremes of humor and anguish; promise and loss; between the four walls of an American living room."By common consent; this is one of the finest dramas in the whole range of the American theater." mdash;Brooks Atkinson; The New York Times"So simple; central; and terrible that the run of playwrights would neither care nor dare to attempt it." mdash;Time

A much appreciated book on a little known treasure.By CustomerI bought this book for my 95 year old father for Christmas; as he has many fond memories of the Bolivar Peninsula; having spent many summers there as a boy; mainly in Gilchrist. I have many old photos and home movies that capture the good times of fishing; duck hunting; and family reunions; and Im sure all the old photos will bring my father great pleasure; as he still loves to go there with me when I visit him in Houston; even though the peninsula has been drastically changed by the hurricanes.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
