A View from the Bridge de Arthur Miller

A View from the Bridge: Penguin Modern Classics

Autor Arthur Miller
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 mar 2010
Arthur Miller's play A View from the Bridge is a tragic masterpiece of the inexorable unravelling of a man, set in a close-knit Italian-American community in 1950s New York.

Eddie Carbone is a longshoreman and a straightforward man, with a strong sense of decency and of honour. For Eddie, it's a privilege to take in his wife's cousins, Marco and Rodolpho, straight off the boat from Italy. But, as his niece Catherine begins to fall for one of them, it's clear that it's not just, as Eddie claims, that he's too strange, too sissy, too careless for her, but that something bigger, deeper is wrong - and wrong inside Eddie, in a way he can't face. Something which threatens the happiness of their whole family.

This Penguin Classics edition includes an introduction by the author and a new foreword by actor Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Recenzii

'The uniform structure and consistent approach eveident in these [first] four volumes make them readable and accessible to students and scholars alike and guarantee that these editions will certainly persist as invaluable tools for those who both enjoy Miller as a dramatist and study him as a significant social and American spokesperson.'
'The fascination of A View from the Bridge lies in its terrific psycho-dramatics and psycho-dynamics, its cult of the theatre of embarrassment.'
'A fine play, in which Miller shows us that an emotionally inarticulate longshoreman can be a tragic hero.'
'What lifts this play from being melodrama...is the ancient form of tragedy, the relentless twisting of the rope, the reduction of options, the closing of doors, the receeding of hope until the release of the final catharsis. And Miller's language, which is flexible and sinewy enough to shine through the slackest jaw... This is one of the handful of great American dramas. It is a brilliant and majestic play.'
'This is one of the great plays. The title alone has a strange magic. Its poise, its banality, its suggestiveness.'
'In A View from the Bridge, [Miller] created one of the greatest roles in modern theatre, Eddie Carbone, a rough but decent Brooklyn longshoreman who betrays his principles because of the almost incestuous love he feels for his orphaned niece.'
'...the sheer grip of this great drama on audiences shows how successful Miller was, both in honouring a certain time and place in American history, and in transcending it, to create a tragedy of almost unlimited weight and resonance.'

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The law is nature. The law is only a word for what has a right to happen. When the law is wrong it's because it's unnatural, but in this case it is natural and a river will drown you if you buck it now. Let her go. And bless her.

Set among Italian-Americans on the Brooklyn waterfront, A View from the Bridge is the story of longshoreman Eddie Carbone. When his wife's cousins arrive as illegal immigrants from Italy, he is honoured to take them into his house. But when his niece begins to fall in love with one of them, Eddie grows increasingly suspicious, eventually precipitating his violation of the moral and cultural codes of his community and leading to the play's tragic finale.

With its examination of the themes of sexuality, responsibility, betrayal and vengeance, A View from the Bridge is Miller at his best and a modern classic.

This new edition includes an introduction by Julie Vatain-Corfdir that explores the play's production history as well as the dramatic, thematic, and academic debates that surround it; a must-have resource for any student exploring A View from the Bridge.
