Synopsis "A View From the Bridge (Penguin Classics) "

Winner of the 2016 Tony Awards for Best Revival of a Play and Best Direction of a Play: Ivo van Hove Set in the 1950s on the gritty Brooklyn waterfront, A View from the Bridge follows the cataclysmic downfall of Eddie Carbone, who spends his days as a hardworking longshoreman and his nights at home with his wife, Beatrice, and orphan niece, Catherine. But the routine of his life is interrupted when Beatrice's cousins, undocumented immigrants from Italy, arrive in New York. As one of them embarks on a romance with Catherine, Eddie's envy and delusion plays out with devastating consequences. This edition includes a foreword by Philip Seymour Hoffman and an introduction by Arthur Miller. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Clásico de la escena estadounidense, escribió algunas de las obras maestras del teatro del siglo XX, además de ser autor de una extensa obra narrativa y ensayística.

Entre sus numerosos galardones se cuentan el Premio Pulitzer 1949 o el de la crítica teatral neoyorquina en dos ocasiones –una por Todos eran mis hijos–, así como el Premio Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras 2002.

Hombre público por su compromiso social –y su vida privada–, nadie como Miller ha sabido reflejar las frustraciones y desengaños de la sociedad estadounidense. Tusquets Editores ha publicado sus grandes piezas teatrales Muerte de un viajante, Las brujas de Salem, Panorama desde el puente y El descenso del monte Morgan, su autobiografía Vueltas al tiempo, el cuento infantil La manta de Jane, el volumen de ensayos Al correr de los años y los libros de relatos Ya no te necesito y Presencia, así como las novelas En el punto de mira y Una chica cualquiera.
