Summary/Abstract |
Death of a Salesman is a painful examination of American life and consumerism. Opening on Broadway the following year, Miller's extraordinary masterpiece changed the course of modern theatre. 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.'

xii, 260pWhite spine

Summary/Abstract |
'To say that life is absurd, one must be alive.'
The Rebel is Camus' 'attempt to understand the time I live in' and a brilliant exploration of what it means to resist. His fiery, passionate criticism of Communism and the French Revolution for their use of terror attracted violent opposition from his contemporaries, who held these events sacred. Camus argues that hope for the future lies in revolt without revolution; rooted in wisdom, beauty and individual freedom.
