By Arthur Miller

Format:Softcover

Arthur Millers moderner Klassiker gehört weltweit zu den meistaufgeführten Bühnenstücken. Dem Theaterstück folgte 1996 eine Hollywoodverfilmung. Miller schrieb das Drehbuch – und übernahm eine Rolle darin. Millers Drama über die Hexenprozesse in Salem Village von 1692, geschrieben und uraufgeführt 1953, auf dem Höhepunkt der McCarthy-Verfolgungen. Bei aller historischen "Treue" geht es um die prinzipielle Befindlichkeit einer Gesellschaft, die unter der Last der ihr aufgezwungenen Normen nicht existieren kann und die selbst zu elementarer Mitmenschlichkeit nicht mehr fähig ist.Ungekürzte und unbearbeitete Textausgabe in der Originalsprache, mit Übersetzungen schwieriger Wörter am Fuß jeder Seite, Nachwort und Literaturhinweisen.

Five young girls, just living their silly lives. Caught red handed, briefly free, so now the devil must come alive.

Nice little play with lots of food for thought Would have liked more in terms of what does it mean for the village overall

For a required lecture quite refreshing. The entanglement if the different characters is amazing!

“Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!” “Until an hour before the Devil fell, God thought him beautiful in Heaven.” “I speak my own sins; I cannot judge another. I have no tongue for it.” “Life, woman, life is God's most precious gift; no principle, however glorious, may justify the taking of it.” “He have his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him!”
