A Man with Great Fortune (arthur Miller Series)
About This Novel
"Everything I touch turns to gold. Everything." Auspicious stars are shining. Is this a blessing or a curse? Why do young winners in life choose to commit suicide? From the "American Dream" to the "American Nightmare." Arthur Miller is one of the greatest contemporary playwrights and is known as "the conscience of American drama." This play is Arthur Miller's first play on Broadway. It explores the loss of order and moral collapse during the Great Depression, and asks a question that seems to have no answer - "Is fate fair?" In the eyes of people around him, David Beavers is an out-and-out "winner in life" - he is young, has a happy family, a successful career, and a lot of good luck. All obstacles can disappear in front of him, as if some god has given him the ability to turn stone into gold. However, his auspicious stars constantly reveal the tragedy of those around him, and before he knows it, his path to success turns into a nightmare of doubt. He is struggling to find some clear operating rules in a seemingly irrational universe, and his despair brings him to the edge of madness... The play is permeated by the fear of failure and the guilt of success, which runs through almost all of Arthur Miller's subsequent works. It was through this play that Miller "began to get a taste of what it was like to be a playwright, and maybe even a human being."
