Arthur Miller

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Arthur Miller (1915-2005) was born in New York City in 1915 and studied at the University of Michigan. During his lifetime he was celebrated as the pre-eminent playwright of his generation and won numerous awards for his work including two New York Drama Critics' Circle Awards, two Emmy awards and three Tony Awards for his plays, as well as a Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement. His 1949 play Death of a Salesman was the first play to scoop all three major US awards: the New York Critics Circle Award, a Tony Award for Best Author and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. His many plays include All My Sons, Death of a Salesman, The Crucible, A View from the Bridge, A Memory of Two Mondays, After the Fall, Incident at Vichy, The Price, The Creation of the World and Other Business, and The American Clock; later plays include Broken Glass, Resurrection Blues and the aptly-titled Finishing the Picture. His other published work includes the novel Focus, The Misfits which was filmed in 1960, two collections of short stories, the memoir Timebends and various volumes of non-fiction including three books in collaboration with his wife, photographer Inge Morath.

    The Amazing Autobiography of Arthur Miller
    Calificado en Estados Unidos el 16 de febrero de 2014
    This is an excellent read if you are interested in how one of the most famous American playwrights wrote his plays, among them "Death of a Salesman" and "The Crucible." It was written in 1987, and he died in 2005, so the book has been around for quite a... Ver más
    This is an excellent read if you are interested in how one of the most famous American playwrights wrote his plays, among them "Death of a Salesman" and "The Crucible." It was written in 1987, and he died in 2005, so the book has been around for quite a while. The scope is amazing, covering the Depression, the Spanish Civil War, World War II, McCarthyism and the HUAC blacklistings, Viet Nam and the protest movement, Miller's three marriages (including the second one to Marilyn Monroe), and his fight for the freedom of writers around the world to write as their consciences dictated. The book is heavy on his philosopy, and it is fascinating to see how it changes over the years as he ages and becomes disillusioned, especially with Communism. Through his own words, we come to know this complex, intelligent, creative and caring man. Read it slowly and enjoy the ride!

    A life in which literature, politics, arts and fame intersect.
    Calificado en Estados Unidos el 24 de agosto de 2021
    Enjoyable read. Miller’s analysis of history and politics are fascinating. He toys with idealism and cynicism.

    This is one of the most beautifully written books that I have ever read. I recommend it to everybody who is interested in writing. After finishing the book I was struck by the foolish thought that this man could certainly have been a great novelist or poet - but then what is wrong with becoming a great American playwright. But it did seem to me strange that a man who could write in this manner would make his living writing dialogue. It is amazing. This book is, of course, a memoir. Mr. Miller lived a full life. He was an intellectual. His life with Marilyn is expressed honestly and provides a very good insight into who and what she was. There is no doubt that he was in love with the woman. This book is a good book on all levels but I would repeat my initial recommendation. If you are a writer and aspire to learn the craft, this book is a manual on how to write beautifully and intelligently. To me, his life and Marilyn are only the excuse for this endeavor - it is a work of art.

    Excellent book, Well wtitten about interesting life and times. I bought it second hand from Bahamut Media who described it ‘as new’ which was completely untrue though. Worst quality of any second hand book I bought on Amazon.

    A rewarding autobiography for those who remember the America that contributed so much to save broken Europe. Deeply humane writing that may seem out of fashion today - but we now know still matters.
