The Price (arthur Miller Works Series)
About This Novel
"You want a real life, and it's expensive." "The conscience of American drama" Arthur Miller is comparable to the late masterpiece "Death of a Salesman", winner of four Emmy Awards, nominated for two Tony Awards, a modern version of the "Cain" and "Abel" dispute. "The Price" is a two-act play written by Arthur Miller in 1967. It is a family game that penetrates from the pricing allocation of old furniture to the price people pay for their own life choices. After the Great Depression, Victor Franz interrupted his college studies to become a policeman in order to support his father who was crushed by the stock market crash. The two of them lived in the attic of his uncle's house with the remnants of their past wealthy life. More than 30 years later, the old house will be demolished, and Victor comes back to sell his parents' inheritance. His wife Esther, brother Walter, and savvy furniture businessman Solomon each have their own plans. The two brothers uncover stories from each other's past that they don't want to admit, and in the end, Victor must face his own sacrifice. Since its premiere on Broad Street in 1968, "The Price" has been revived several times and received two Tony Award nominations; the TV adaptation received four Emmy Award nominations and won two of them.
