«A Streetcar Named Desire» is the drama by Tennessee Williams, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (128 pages, in English).
Blanche DuBois, a faded Southern belle, arrives in New Orleans to take refuge in the home of her sister Stella and her brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski. Her illusions of grandeur clash with the crudeness and violence of Stanley's world, in a conflict between fantasy and reality that threatens Blanche's fragile identity.
The Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Arthur Miller. A Streetcar Named Desire was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1948.
Recommended for students of literature and theater and for readers of twentieth-century American dramatic classics.
