Über dieses E-Book
Excerpt: "SCENE—"Johnny-The-Priest's" saloon near South Street, New York City. The stage is divided into two sections, showing a small back room on the right. On the left, forward, of the barroom, a large window looking out on the street. Beyond it, the main entrance—a double swinging door. Farther back, another window. The bar runs from left to right nearly the whole length of the rear wall. In back of the bar, a small showcase displaying a few bottles of case goods, for which there is evidently little call. The remainder of the rear space in front of the large mirrors is occupied by half-barrels of cheap whiskey of the "nickel-a-shot" variety, from which the liquor is drawn by means of spigots. On the right is an open doorway leading to the back room. In the back room are four round wooden tables with five chairs grouped about each. In the rear, a family entrance opening on a side street."
Autoren-Profil
Eugene O'Neill, born on October 16, 1888, in New York City, is heralded as one of America's most significant playwrights, whose works revolutionized the landscape of American theater. The son of a famous actor, James O'Neill, Eugene was exposed to the world of drama from an early age, though his path to literary greatness was tumultuous.O'Neill's life was marked by personal struggles, including bouts with alcoholism, depression, and turbulent family relationships, which deeply influenced his writing. His works often delve into the complexities of human nature, exploring themes of existential despair, family conflict, and the search for meaning in a seemingly indifferent universe. He was a pioneer in introducing realism and psychological depth to American theater, breaking away from the melodramatic norms of his time. His innovative use of language and exploration of taboo subjects paved the way for future playwrights like Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller, who admired his fearless approach to storytelling.O'Neill's career was not without controversy. His candid portrayal of sensitive issues such as addiction, mental illness, and racial tensions often sparked debate and censorship. Despite this, he garnered immense critical acclaim, winning four Pulitzer Prizes for Drama and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1936, making him the first American playwright to receive this honor.Eugene O'Neill's legacy endures through his profound impact on modern theater, his daring exploration of the human condition, and his relentless pursuit of artistic truth. His life and work continue to inspire and challenge audiences and writers alike, cementing his place as a towering figure in literary history.
