"The only thing you got in this world is what you can sell." Fired at the age of sixty for being old and unproductive, Willy Loman still hasn't lost his faith in the American Dream. Having served as a travelling salesman for almost half his life and having failed miserably, he still hasn't given up on his myth of success. But as his delusions lead to familial struggles, abandonments, and betrayals, what would become of Willy when he finally faces reality? A realistic tragedy critiquing the myths of American capitalism, Death of a Salesman was Arthur Miller's theatrical triumph. A classic of the twentieth-century American theatre, it received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1949. Having undergone numerous adaptations and productions, the play continues to move its audiences. 'A CLASSIC. IT IS ONE OF THE MAJOR TEXTS OF OUR TIME.' CLIVE BARNES, New York Post Optimized for digital reading, this ebook offers a smooth, immersive experience on any device.
