Something is wrong inside Eddie Carbone — something he cannot face — and it will unravel everything. Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge is a tragic masterpiece set within a close-knit Italian-American community in 1950s New York.
Eddie is a longshoreman with a firm sense of honour and decency. When his wife’s cousins, Marco and Rodolpho, arrive straight off the boat from Italy, taking them in feels like a privilege. But when his niece Catherine begins to fall for one of them, Eddie’s objections — too strange, too sissy, too careless for her, he insists — ring hollow. The truth runs deeper and darker, threatening the happiness of the entire family.
This Penguin Classics edition features an introduction by Arthur Miller himself, together with a new foreword by actor Philip Seymour Hoffman.
