Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The only American dramatist awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, Eugene ONeill wrote with poetic expressiveness, emotional intensity, and immense dramatic power. This Library of America volume (the first in a threevolume set) contains twentynine plays he wrote between 1913, when he began his career, and 1920, the year he first achieved Broadway success.Many of ONeills early plays are oneact melodramas whose characters are caught in extreme situations. Thirst and Fog depict shipwreck survivors, The Web a young mother trapped in the New York underworld, and Abortion the aftermath of a college students affair with a stenographer.His first distinctive works are four oneact plays about the crew of the tramp steamer Glencairn that render sailors speech with masterful faithfulness. Bound East for Cardiff, In the Zone, The Long Voyage Home, and The Moon of the Caribbees portray these children of the sea as they watch over a dying man, sail though submarinepatrolled waters, take their shore leave in a London dive, and drink rum in a moonlit tropical anchorage.In Beyond the Horizon Robert Mayo begins a tragic chain of events by abandoning his dream of a life at sea, choosing instead to marry the woman his brother loves and remain on his family farm. The sea in Anna Christie is both dat ole devil to coal barge captain Chris Christopherson and a source of spiritual cleansing to his daughter Anna, an embittered prostitute. When a swaggering stoker falls in love with her, Anna becomes the apex of a threesided struggle full of enraged pride, grim foreboding, and stubborn hope. Both of these plays won the Pulitzer Prize and helped establish ONeill as a successful Broadway playwright.The Emperor Jones depicts the nightmarish journey through a West Indian forest of Brutus Jones, a former Pullman porter turned island ruler. Fleeing his rebellious subjects, Jones confronts his violent deeds and the tortured history of his race in a series of hallucinatory episodes whose expressionist quality anticipates many of ONeills later plays.LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nations literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, Americas best and most significant writing.
