Death of a Salesman (eBook, ePUB)

He emerged six weeks later with the final script of Death of a Salesman - a painful examination of American life and consumerism.

In creating Willy Loman, his destructively insecure anti-hero, Miller himself defined his aim as being 'to set forth what happens when a man does not have a grip on the forces of life.'- Shop: buecher
