About This Novel
"People are not fruits. You can't eat oranges and throw away the peel." "Death of a Salesman" is the pinnacle work of Arthur Miller, the famous dramatist known as "the conscience of American drama." Willy Loman was a salesman. In his prime, he had reliable business skills. His wife Linda was a good housekeeper, and his two sons, Biff and Happy, made him proud. However, as time goes by, his good luck seems to be leaving him, and his life is gradually getting out of control... The author tears apart the glamorous appearance of the "American Dream", compassionately understands the tragic fate of the little people, and quietly presents his hope and pain on the dramatic stage. The play was published in 1949 and ran for 742 consecutive performances on Broadway. It won the Pulitzer Prize, the Tony Award, and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award. It was the first play to win the three major drama awards in one fell swoop, making Arthur Miller a household name in the United States. It was adapted into a film of the same name in 1985, starring Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman. The translator of this book, Mr. Ying Ruocheng, is a famous Chinese performing artist, translator, and drama director. He played the leading role in the Chinese premiere of "Death of a Salesman" directed by Arthur Miller himself.
