    Washington University, Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum Arthur Osver Urban Landscape Abstraction and the

    Book SynopsisThe first monograph on the work of the American painter Arthur Osver (1912-2006), this publication explores Osver's entire oeuvre, from early urban realism to decades of engagement with abstraction. His long and productive career took him from Chicago to New York to Europe and back, interweaving with the art of his time, and his paintings have been collected and exhibited all over the world. Nevertheless, he remained firmly rooted in the American Midwest, settling in St. Louis to teach and paint from 1960 until his death in 2006. Beautifully designed and printed, this book includes 80 full-color plates of Osver's work throughout his life as well as an illustrated biography and selections from an interview with the artist from the Smithsonian Archives of American Art.

    Book SynopsisQuizá algo que nadie puede negarle a Arthur Miller es haber sido una de las grandes voces críticas del siglo XX, de los pocos que han sido consecuentes con la idea de que el teatro debe ser un lugar desde el que se remueven y azotan conciencias y se analiza la manera en que vivimos. Pero Miller nunca recurre a sermones y convierte siempre la "percepción moral" en forma dramática a través de personajes claramente individualizados. Testigo de excepción de hechos importantes del siglo XX, la Gran Depresión de los años 30, la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la Guerra Fría, el maccarthysmo, la guerra de Vietnam, el derrumbe del comunismo e incluso la caída de las Torres Gemelas, sobre todos ellos ha expresado su punto de vista desde la creación dramática o desde sus escritos teóricos o periodísticos."La muerte de un viajante" está unánimemente considerada la obra cumbre de Arthur Miller. La fuerza de la historia reside tanto en lo que cuenta como en la manera de contarlo. La obra nos relata las últimas veinticuatro horas en la vida de un viajante de sesenta y tres años llamado Willy Loman, con un magistral retrato de unos personajes que, siendo portavoces de una época, son por encima de todo únicos y singulares, en una atmósfera onírica, inquietante y emotiva.

  • Ediciones Cátedra El crisol

    Book SynopsisEl crisol puede enmarcarse en la categoría de teatro político, por un lado, y teatro histórico, por otro. Ambientada en las colonias inglesas en el Nuevo Mundo, a finales del siglo XVII, la obra no habría sido escrita de no ser por otro momento histórico: lo que dos siglo y medio después estaba aconteciendo en Estados Unidos y en el mundo, justo en los albores de la conocida como Guerra Fría. Otra ?caza de brujas?, la que tuvo lugar a principios de los años 50 del pasado siglo, sin duda una de las más conocidas, que el propio Miller sufrió y durante la que escribió El crisol. Los acontecimientos que se produjeron en Salem, Massachussets, en 1692, durante los cuales casi doscientas personas fueron acusadas de practicar la brujería, y que terminaron con la ejecución de varios inocentes, son una manifestación perversa del pánico de las autoridades ante la pérdida de poder y su empeño por restaurarlo. Lo que empezó siendo un juego de niñas terminó convirtiéndose en un instrumento para hacer volver a los colonos al redil de la fe y las buenas costumbres, estableciendo una suerte de imperio del terror. El paralelismo entre Salem y los albores de la Guerra fría figura en el mapa de nuestra conciencia histórica gracias a la obra del genial dramaturgo norteamericano.

    Book Synopsis Arthur Miller , nuestro reciente Premio Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras 2002, no sólo es el dramaturgo norteamericano más importante del siglo XX, sino también uno de los intelectuales más prestigiosos de Estados Unidos. En Al correr de los años reúne, por primera vez en forma de libro, un conjunto deslumbrante de cuarenta y cuatro ensayos y reportajes, escritos entre 1944 y 2001, en torno a la política y la historia, el teatro y la literatura, así como textos autobiográficos y relatos de viajes, editados y prologados por el experto en su obra Stephen Centola.Los ensayos recorren los momentos más significativos de nuestra frenética historia moderna: el Holocausto y los crímenes de guerra nazis, el macartismo, Vietnam, el caso Watergate, la caída del Muro de Berlín, el escándalo Lewinsky o el polémico triunfo electoral de Bush. Brillante observador y comentarista social y político, Miller también analiza con clarividencia asuntos menores como la censura, la delincuencia o la pena de muerte. Revela asimismo sus grandes dotes de crítico literario, de satírico mordaz y de viajero, como cuando relata sus estancias en China, su visita con Inge Morath a la Ópera de Tashkent o el viaje con Harold Pinter a Turquía, y los encuentros con Nelson Mandela y con Lucky Luciano. Especialmente emotivos son los relatos en los que Miller aborda su asombrosa vida dentro y fuera del teatro, al que también se refiere a propósito de autores contemporáneos y de sus propios dramas, entre otros, Las brujas de Salem , en una conferencia inédita hasta ahora, y Muerte de un viajante (Marginales 156 y 188).

    Book SynopsisLos últimos y más nostágicos relatos de uno de los grandes escritores norteamericanos.Una profunda nostalgia destila Presencia, una selección de relatos escritos por Arthur Miller en los últimos años de su vida y aparecidos en publicaciones como The New Yorker, Harper?s o Esquire. Los cuentos se ordenan dibujando el arco completo de una vida: desde el despertar sexual de un joven de Brooklyn, pasando por las desgracias maritales de un escritor que intenta recobrar su talento escribiendo sobre la piel de una mujer desnuda, hasta llegar a las cavilaciones junto a la playa de un anciano. Narra también la angustia de un bailarín de claqué judío que tiene que actuar ante Hitler... y lo cautiva; o la fascinación que sobre un hombre de mediana edad ejercen Haití y, en particular, uno de sus habitantes, un emprendedor que quiere aportar su grano de arena para librar al país de la pobreza. Estos magistrales ejercicios de memoria recogen momentos de desdicha o de algo parecido a la felicidad de unos personajes desplazados a los márgenes de la vida. Sin duda, Miller cierra su obra con leves notas otoñales que, sin embargo, a veces tienen una luminosidad estival: el legado memorable de una obra viva.

    Book SynopsisSus editores norteamericanos la rescataron en 1986, con un prólogo del autor, que reproducimos en nuestra edición, y, desde estonces, ya no ha dejado de reimprimirse una y otra vez. Y no es de extrañar. Porque En el punto de mira , que, según el propio Miller, escribió con una sensación de urgencia en el mismo año en que terminaba la segunda guerra mundial, ha ido adquiriendo con el tiempo ?como suele ocurrir con las grandes obras literarias? un sentido más amplio, premonitorio, admonitorio incluso.Cuando el señor Newman fue perdiendo la visión y se compró unas gafas, sus amigos y conocidos empezaron a tratarlo con reserva y hasta con suspicacia. Y es que, de pronto, el aspecto del señor Newman pasó a ser el de un judío, aunque ni él ni la gente a su alrededor jamás hubieran reparado antes en ello. En la ciudad de Nueva York, en 1945, con el Frente Cristiano en pleno auge, tener semejante aspecto no facilitaba la existencia a nadie. A partir de es

    Book SynopsisThe Pulitzer Prize-winning tragedy of a salesman’s deferred American dream, presented here with enlightening commentary and criticismWilly Loman, the protagonist of Death of a Salesman, has spent his life following the American way, living out his belief in salesmanship as a way to reinvent himself.

At age 63, he searches for the moment his life took a wrong turn, the moment of betrayal that undermined his relationship with his wife and destroyed his relationship with Biff, the son in whom he invested his faith. Willy lives in a fragile world of elaborate excuses and daydreams, conflating past and present in a desperate attempt to make sense of himself and of a world that once promised so much.Since it was first performed in 1949, Arthur Miller's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama about the tragic shortcomings of an American dreamer has been recognized as a milestone of the theater.

    Book SynopsisProduced in May 1998 in New York and starring Peter Falk, Mr. Peters' Connections takes place, in Miller's own words, in that suspended state of consciousness when the mind is freed to roam from real memories to conjectures, from trivialities to tragic insights, from terror of death to glorying in one's being alive. Within the confines of his mind, Mr. Peters interacts with the living members of his family and his long-deceased brother and lover, as well as the imaginary Adele, a black bag lady, who is a figment of Peters' imagination and one of Miller's most original characters. A work of rare honesty and dignity (Fintan O'Toole, New York Daily News), Mr. Peters' Connections uncoils with ferocious, life-affirming intensity.

    Book SynopsisFor Arthur Miller's centennial year, The Library of America and editor Tony Kushner present the final volume in the definitive collected edition of the essential American dramatist. Here are eleven masterful, haunting, funny, and provocative later plays, from the double-bill Danger: Memory (1987) to Finishing the Picture (2004), Miller’s final stage work, based loosely on events around the filming of The Misfits, in 1960, with Marilyn Monroe. In between, Miller revisits the perennially rich themes that define his work—the vagaries of fate and chance, the press of public events on private lives—with such plays as The Ride Down Mt. Morgan, The Last Yankee, Broken Glass, Mr. Peters’ Connections, and Resurrection Blues. Also presented in the volume are the early play The Golden Years, about the conquest of Mexico, which Miller revised for its first production in 1987; several shorter one-act plays and never-before-published early works and radio plays; and a selection of Miller’s incisive prose reflections on his art, among them “On Screenwriting and Language” and “About Theatre Language.”LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation’s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America’s best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.
