Bøger af Eugene O'Neill

Long Day's Journey into Night was written in 1940 but not staged until 1956, after O'Neill's death. Unashamedly autobiographical, it is, as he puts it himself in the dedicatory note, 'a play of old sorrow, written in tears and blood', a harrowing attempt to understand himself and his family.

""The Straw"" is a short story written by Eugene O'Neill, an American playwright and Nobel laureate in literature. The story follows the protagonist, a man named David, who is committed to a mental institution after a mental breakdown. David is tormented by his past mistakes and his guilt over a past relationship, and he struggles to come to terms with his current situation. As he begins to interact with the other patients in the institution, he starts to see the world in a new light and gains a deeper understanding of himself and his place in the world. Through David's journey, O'Neill explores themes of guilt, redemption, and the human condition. The story is a poignant and thought-provoking examination of mental illness and the complexities of the human psyche.THIS 96 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Plays of Eugene O'Neill Including Anna Christie, Beyond the Horizon, Emperor Jones, The Hairy Ape and Days Without End, by Eugene O'Neill.

Eugene O'Neill was an American playwright in the 20th century. O'Neill's works are known for their realism and he is often compared to other famous playwrights before him such as Chekhov, Ibsen, and Strindberg.

When Eugene O'Neill was conferred the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1936, the award committee praised "the power, honesty and deep-felt emotions" of the American playwright's dramatic works, which remain topical and preserve their resonance to this day.This extensive selection includes six of O'Neill's most famous and performed works for the stage, from the early one-act play Bound East for Cardiff and the 1920 tragedy The Emperor Jones, to the expressionist play The Hairy Ape, first produced in 1922, through to the dramatic masterpieces of his mature period in the 1930s and 1940s: Mourning Becomes Electra, The Iceman Cometh and Long Day's Journey into Night. Together, these plays cement O'Neill's place as one of the foremost realist playwrights, alongside Ibsen, Strindberg and Chekhov.

Contained within this volume are some of the best of O'Neill's early one-act plays, which foreshadowed the longer plays that have given this dramatist his most enduring fame. "Beyond the Horizon" was the first of O'Neill's three Pulitzer Prize-winning plays. It follows the disappointed dreams of two brothers on their family farm. "The Emperor Jones" is an expressionistic transformation of a black man named Brutus Jones. In fleeing from his rebelling subjects in the West Indies, Jones is taken back to his racial past and undergoes a night of personal destruction. In "Anna Christie", we find a drama focusing on the relationship of a young woman and her sailor father, who has not seen her for twenty years. As their story unfolds, Anna's troubled romantic past comes to light, and the hardships of women during that time period become as apparent as the power of forgiveness and love. In the final play in this collection, "The Hairy Ape", a ship's fireman becomes disillusioned concerning the work he performs in a society that is quickly industrializing and taking a heavy human toll.

Eugene O'Neill's autobiographical play Long Day's Journey into Night is regarded as his masterpiece and a classic of American drama. With this new edition, at last it has the critical edition that it deserves. William Davies King provides students and theater artists with an invaluable guide to the text, including an essay on historical and critical perspectives; glosses of literary allusions and quotations; notes on the performance history; an annotated bibliography; and illustrations. This is a worthy new edition, one that I'm sure will appeal to many students and teachers. William Davies King provides a thoughtful introduction to Long Day's Journey into Night--equally sensitive to the most particular and most encompassing of the play's materials.--Marc Robinson

At the beginning of the play Chris and Anna are reunited after fifteen years apart. Anna comes to live on her father's coal barge, but hides the secret of her past from him.

JOHN--[Indignantly.] I'm not. I think I've showed my willingness to do everything I could. If Curt was only the least bit grateful! He isn't. He hates us all and wishes we were out of his home. I would have left long ago if I didn't want to do my part in saving the family name from disgrace.
