Kurzbeschreibung
Die sorgfältig, vorwiegend einsprachig annotierte Textausgabe wird durch eine Anzahl von Zusatztexten ergänzt. Diese erhellen den soziologischen Hintergrund, das amerikanische Erfolgsdenken und Arthur Millers Auffassung vom Theater. Ein Glossary of Dramatic Terms ergänzt das Heft.
Autorenporträt
Arthur Miller, geb. 1915 in New York, verbrachte seine Kindheit in Brooklyn und Harlem. Er studierte Publizistik, englische Sprache und Literatur. Der große Börsenkrach und die anschließende Weltwirtschaftskrise, deren soziale Auswirkungen er in den 30er Jahren u.a. als Hafen- und Landarbeiter direkt zu spüren bekam, sind Schlüsselerlebnisse für sein Leben und Schreiben. Die Verarbeitung des Themas in "Death of a Salesman" bringt ihm 1949 Weltruhm.

Wir haben "Death of a Salesman" in der zwölften Klasse im Englisch-Leistungskurs gelesen. Das Drama beschäftigt sich mit dem Vertreter Willy Loman, der an seinem Lebensziel, nämlich möglichst schnell und unkompliziert reich zu werden, scheitert. Dieses Scheitern erklärt sich vor allem dadurch, dass er ein falsches Bild von sich selbst und die falschen Werte und Normen hat, die er auch an seine beiden Söhne weitergibt, was zu vielen interessanten Konflikten im Verlauf des Stücks führt. Viele Szenen des Dramas spielen in einer von Willy erfundenen beziehungsweise idealisierten Version der Vergangenheit, weshalb Arthur Miller das Stück ursprünglich auch "The Inside of his Head" nennen wollte. Dies macht das Schauspiel einerseits etwas komplexer und daher schwieriger zu verstehen, aber auch interessanter. Bei der vorliegenden Klett-Ausgabe fallen besonders die sehr guten Vokabelangaben auf. Diese sind zwar vorwiegend in Englisch, aber trotzdem gut zu verstehen und hilfreich. Außerdem wird das Drama um einige Sekundärtexte ergänzt, die helfen, es besser zu verstehen. Ein hervorragendes Stück amerikanischer Literatur in einer guten Studienausgabe, die ihr Geld eindeutig wert ist.
ich war total zufrieden. das buch war in einem relativ guten zudtand genau wie es beschrieben wurde.
Über die Bleistiftanmerkungen am Rand was ich sehr froh^^
ich werde gerne wieder bei ihnen einkaufen.

"Death of a salesman" is a well-known play which was written by Arthur Miller who was a famous author. It was published in 1949 and it got many prices. Nowadays it is played very often in theatres and it is favoured by many people.
The play deals with Willy Loman and his family but you mostly get to know how Willy feels and what his thoughts are.
Willy Loman has got lots of problems he doesn't know to solve. He feels that he is becoming old and moreover he isn't able to work the way it is expected from him. At the beginning of the play he smashes with his car which can be seen as a starting point for his misery. He feels very disappointed with himself and with his sons, Biff and Happy Loman.
Foremost Biff seems to be a lazy boy because he is restless and he does not get a long-term job so he does not earn money. Willy always wanted Biff to become something special but Biff realized that he is just like his father. He failures in life and his father did too because Willy always wanted to be a salesman. Willy once thought that that would be the right job for him because he knew a salesman who was very famous and rich.
Willy also has an idol: his brother Ben. Ben Loman was a very rich person and Willy admires him for that. Moreover Willy wants to become rich too but he never realizes that he already failured. His mental status becomes worse and in the ende he commits suicide because he wants his wife and his sons to have some money.
At the end you can say that there are lots of reasons for Willy's failure in life.
One reason is that he never accepts reality or that he always had the wrong ideals. He always wanted to achieve the idea of the American Dream which says that every American can become rich if he worked hard for it.
Willy always wanted to achieve this aim but he never accepts that he isn't going to achieve it. Nevertheless Willy wants to be seen as a well-known salesman but in the end there are only a few people at his funeral.
This is a critical point in this play: it never produces any suspense because when you read the title of the play you already know that Willy is going to die here. Nevertheless it is a very interesting book because you can collect many reasons for Willy's behaviour and his suicide. Although there isn't a lot of suspense it is a readable book.
Although it is a book worth reading there are some passages which are very difficult to read. On some passages there are flashbacks mentioned which show Willy's background and the experiences he made earlier in life. Sometimes it is difficult to find the connection between the present and the past but after a while you get used to it.
Almost every character has got his own story and everyone feels different so the play always creates different moods which will catch the reader. All in all it is a very famous and a very interesting book which is very readable.
I would recommend it to other people and classes although it is a sad and dark story. Even my own impressions of the play are very good although I don't like plays so much.

different, but good
The novel "Death of a Salesman" is different from the majority of novels. The way, Arthur Miller wrote the story, might confuse the reader but captivates him at the same... Lesen Sie weiter...

We read the book at school and I have to say that I had expected more than that. "Death of a Salesman" is a classic, but I don't really understand why. Lesen Sie weiter...
