Life, in \u003ci\u003eIceman, \u003c\/i\u003e is what it is in Schopenhauer: illusion.\"--from the foreword by Harold Bloom\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Iceman Cometh\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on a group of alcoholics and misfits who endlessly discuss but never act on their dreams, and Hickey, the traveling salesman determined to strip them of their pipe dreams. Eugene O'Neill--the first American playwright to win the Nobel Prize in literature--completed \u003ci\u003eIceman \u003c\/i\u003ein 1939, but he delayed production until after the war, when it enjoyed a long run of performances in 1946 after receiving mixed reviews. Three years after O'Neill's death, Jason Robards starred in a Broadway revival that brought new critical attention to O'Neill's darkest and most nihilistic play. Since then, \u003ci\u003eThe Iceman Cometh\u003c\/i\u003e has gained enormously in stature; many critics now recognize it as one of the greatest plays in American drama. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10383671\"\u003eEugene O'Neill\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 219\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.84h x 5.02w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300117431\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300117434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-DRA\"\u003eDrama\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-DRA001000\"\u003eAmerican | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEugene O'Neill\u003c\/b\u003e (1888-1953), the father of American drama, won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama four times and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1936. \u003cb\u003eHarold Bloom\u003c\/b\u003e, Sterling Professor of the Humanities at Yale University and Berg Professor of English at New York University, is the author of many books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Western Canon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eShakespeare: The Invention of the Human\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eJesus and Yahweh: The Names Divine.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42694290014445,"sku":"9780300117431","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_e7698df5-be32-4ea1-96db-c4a12fbc88b5.jpg?v=1649865198","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/the-iceman-cometh-9780300117431","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
