Arthur Miller's debut stage triumph draws from real events to expose the destructive power of denial and moral compromise within an American family. When a storm destroys the apple tree memorializing their son Larry, killed in World War II, Joe and Kate Keller are forced to confront darker secrets buried in their past. This exploration of guilt, responsibility, and the gap between national ideals and personal integrity remains strikingly relevant. The Penguin Modern Classics edition features an introduction by Christopher Bigsby.
