Eugene O'Neill : Complete Plays 1932-1943

🔖 This third and final volume of the first complete collection of O'Neill's dramatic writing contains eight plays, including the crowning achievements of his career. From the warmly nos­talgic Ah, Wilderness!, an uncharacteristically affectionate evo­cation of the world of his childhood, and Days Without End, a stark portrayal of spiritual conflict, he moved on to the great culmination of his work for the theater: A Touch of the Poet and More Stately Mansions (included here in its entirety), parts of an ambitious, uncompleted cycle tracing a complex family drama; The Iceman Cometh, which brilliantly uses its skid-row tavern setting to pit escapist dreams against tragic realities; the two-character tour de force Hnjjhic; hong Day's Journey into Nijjht, the devastating portrait of the play­wright's own family widely viewed as his masterpiece; and his last play, A Moon for the Misbegotten. "At last, an edition of the complete theater works of Eugene O'Neill. It is hard to believe that this has never happened before."-Helen Hayes
