具体描述
The Crucible is a powerful indictment of McCarthyism and the 'frontier mentality' of Cold War America, published in Penguin Modern Classics.
Arthur Miller's classic parable of mass hysteria draws a chilling parallel between the Salem witch-hunt of 1692 - 'one of the strangest and most awful chapters in human history' - and the American anti-communist purges led by Senator McCarthy in the 1950s. The story of how the small community of Salem is stirred into madness by superstition, paranoia and malice, culminating in a violent climax, is a savage attack on the evils of mindless persecution and the terrifying power of false accusations.
If you enjoyed The Crucible, you might like Miller's Death of a Salesman, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.
'One of a handful of great plays that will both survive the twentieth century and bear witness to it'
John Peter, Sunday Times
作者简介
American dramatist Arthur Miller was born in New York City in 1915. In 1938 Miller won awards for his comedy The Grass Still Grows. His major achievement was Death of a Salesman, which won the 1949 Pulitzer Prize for drama and the 1949 New York Drama Critics' Circle Award. The Crucible was aimed at the widespread congressional investigation of subversive activities in the US; the drama won the 1953 Tony Award. Miller's autobiography, Timebends: A Life was published in 1987.

评分人性的善恶
评分human Nature！
评分四月的最后一本书，也是平成的最后一本书。从过年拖到现在总算读完了，阅读的过程简单来说就是百爪挠心，一直有什么东西在抓着你不肯松开。读到最后的echoes down the corridor才算是真正放下了。Salem的故事听得太多了—从朱老师讲麦卡锡主义，到Fantastic Beasts里的witch-hunting，再到A Discovery of Witches里的Bishop—，Arthur Miller的改写和演绎固然无法让我看到这一历史事件的全貌。However, this great play not only survives the twentieth century but also bears witness to the next one.
评分火车上读完，一气呵成。
