<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A Penguin Book drama"--P. [4] of cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The Pulitzer Prize-winning tragedy of a salesman's deferred American dream</b> <p/>Ever since it was first performed in 1949, <i>Death of a Salesman</i> 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 grandiosity--and a play that compresses epic extremes of humor and anguish, promise and loss, between the four walls of an American living room. <p/>By common consent, this is one of the finest dramas in the whole range of the American theater. --Brooks Atkinson, <i>The New York Times</i> <p/>So simple, central, and terrible that the run of playwrights would neither care nor dare to attempt it. --<i>Time</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama</b><br><b>Winner of the National Book Award Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters</b> <p/>By common consent, this is one of the finest dramas in the whole range of the American theater. --Brooks Atkinson, <i>The New York Times</i> <p/>So simple, central, and terrible that the run of playwrights would neither care nor dare to attempt it. --<i>Time</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Arthur Miller</b> was born in New York City in 1915 and studied at the University of Michigan.
