"Everything about her belongs to her, and everything about me belongs to me." - "The Conscience of American Drama" Arthur Miller's spiritual confession, the stock market crash, the Holocaust, the witch hunt and the private memories of a generation of famous actors. It was translated by Mr. Guo Jide, a senior drama research expert, and published in a Chinese version for the first time in China. When the "great American mind" meets the "great American body," "Mr. Monroe" said that you can be hesitant when you are alone, but you must be firm when you share the same bed. After the Fall is a two-act play written by Arthur Miller in 1964. The script has a strong autobiographical flavor, and is a summary and retracement of Miller's failed marriage to his second wife, Marilyn Monroe: the protagonist Quentin is a lawyer in New York. While reviewing his 25 years of life experience, including family tragedies caused by the stock market crash, precarious friendships due to McCarthy's "witch hunt", and a painful marriage, he reflects on what is moral and what is human nature. Finally, I realized that human beings have had the sinful instinct since Adam committed original sin and fell. Only realizing that love is not enough, we need to face life without fear. It is worth noting that the script boldly innovates in the narrative form, advancing the plot with a non-linear stream of consciousness, and realizing the free switching of the characters' perspectives. Some Western critics believe that Miller dared to expose his soul and wrote a profound autobiographical document that can be compared with O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey Into Night".

The pinnacle work "Death of a Salesman" depicts the sorrow of the little man and the disillusionment of the "American Dream", which ran for 742 performances on Broadway and won Miller international reputation; "The Witches of Salem" depicts the terrifying environment of panic and mutual false accusations, perfectly presenting a modern fable of the struggle between good and evil; "All My Sons" writes about the hidden reefs of human nature in modern society, revealing the banal evil under the guise of a peaceful life. "A View from the Bridge" captures the sore feet of outsiders with a family tragedy; the autobiographical play "After the Fall" is about the marriage of Miller and Monroe: one is a progressive writer, the other is a sexy goddess. Their union is what Norman Mailer called "America's greatest mind" meeting "America's greatest body."

"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."

The short story collection consists of three parts, including Miller's short story collection "I Don't Need You Anymore" published in 1967, the novella "The Life of an Ordinary Girl" published in 1995, and "Existence", a collection of the last short stories published during his lifetime, totaling 16 pieces. Among them, 6 articles included in "Existence" were originally published in magazines such as "The New Yorker", "Harper's", and "Esquire", and are recognized as representing the highest achievement of Miller's novel creation. Since the collection of short stories was first published by Bloomsbury Publishing House in the UK in 2009, it has received many praises. The Los Angeles Times Book Review said, "There is no doubt that these short stories remind us that this outstanding dramatist is also an excellent novelist."
