«Death of a Salesman» is a play in two acts and a requiem by Arthur Miller, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (112 pages, in English).
Set in Brooklyn, the play follows Willy Loman, a sixty-year-old salesman who sees his ideals of success crumble as he tries to support his family. Through his memories and tensions with his sons, Miller portrays the fragility of the American dream, self-deception, and the inheritance of frustrations across generations.
Written in 1949, the play received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award.
It is common reading in high schools and literature courses, and a reference for those approaching twentieth-century American theater.
