具體描述
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

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.

評分阿瑟·米勒 根据真实的萨勒姆女巫案改编而成，阿瑟米勒笔下的萨勒姆小镇，人人为了自保而虚构罪名，诬陷旁人，显然也是对当时美国盛行的麦卡 锡主义的暗讽。由几个女孩子引起的女巫案为什么最后演化为全镇的悲剧，涉及越来越多的无辜者，人性的意义和价值在当时的萨勒姆...
評分A very intellectual book written in the Red Scare,an era featured by the public-perceived fear against the Russian Communist Uprising.While in fact telling the story of 1692 Salem Witch Hunt,Arthur Miller is actually projecting the similar unfairness and st...

評分“那不过是闹着玩罢了，叔叔！” 是的，这一切不过闹着玩罢了，萨勒姆小镇的这出“事故”本就是一群孩子有趣的玩意，可一旦有人当真，魔鬼就降临到人间。先是大人们的当真，确定了上帝敌人的痕迹，敌人“理应”成为大家的“公敌”；随后，被逼无奈的女孩们努力（其...
