A new Penguin Plays edition of the forgotten classic that launched the career of one of America’s greatest playwrights
 
It took more than fifty years for The Man Who Had All the Luck to be appreciated for what it truly is: the first stirrings of a genius that would go on to blossom in such masterpieces as Death of a Salesman and The Crucible. This striking new edition finally adds Miller’s first major play to the Penguin Plays series—now in beautifully redesigned covers.
 
Infused with the moral malaise of the Depression era, this parable-like drama centers on David Beeves, a man before whom every obstacle to personal and professional success seems to crumble with ease. But his good fortune merely serves to reveal the tragedies of those around him in greater relief, offering what David believes to be evidence of a capricious god or, worse, a godless, arbitrary universe. David’s journey toward fulfillment becomes a nightmare of existential doubts, a desperate grasp for reason in a cosmos seemingly devoid of any, and a struggle that will take him to the brink of madness.

Works of American playwrightArthur Asher MillerincludeDeath of a Salesman(1949), for which he won a Pulitzer Prize, andThe Crucible(1953).This essayist, a prominent figure in literature and cinema for over 61 years, composed a wide variety, such as celebratedA View from the BridgeandAll My Sons, still studied and performed worldwide. Miller often in the public eye most famously refused to give evidence to the un-American activities committee of the House of Representatives, received award for drama, and marriedMarilyn Monroe. People at the time considered the greatest Miller.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_...
