«The Crucible» is Arthur Miller's play, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (128 pages, in English).
Set in the Puritan community of Salem in 1692, the play shows how rumour and superstition unleash a witch hunt: neighbours accuse each other, authorities fuel the panic, and forced confessions destroy lives. Miller conceived the play as an indictment of McCarthyism and a denunciation of the power of false accusations.
A play in four acts, originally published in 1953; this edition belongs to Penguin Modern Classics.
May be of interest to literature students and readers of classic American theatre interested in social and political criticism.
