This striking new edition finally adds Miller’s first major play to the Penguin Plays series—now in beautifully redesigned covers.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Infused with the moral malaise of the Depression era, this parable-like drama centers on David Beeves, a man before whom every obstacle to personal and professional success seems to crumble with ease. But his good fortune merely serves to reveal the tragedies of those around him in greater relief, offering what David believes to be evidence of a capricious god or, worse, a godless, arbitrary universe. David’s journey toward fulfillment becomes a nightmare of existential doubts, a desperate grasp for reason in a cosmos seemingly devoid of any, and a struggle that will take him to the brink of madness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinner of the National Book Award Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eArthur Miller \u003c\/b\u003e(1915–2005) was born in New York City and studied at the University of Michigan.
