Book Overview

A haunting examination of groupthink and mass hysteria in a rural community

The place is Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692, an enclave of rigid piety huddled on the edge of a wilderness. Its inhabitants believe unquestioningly in their own sanctity. But in Arthur Miller's edgy masterpiece, that very belief will have poisonous consequences when a vengeful teenager accuses a rival of witchcraft--and then when those accusations multiply to consume the entire village.

First produced in 1953, at a time when America was convulsed by a new epidemic of witch-hunting, The Crucible brilliantly explores the threshold between individual guilt and mass hysteria, personal spite and collective evil. It is a play that is not only relentlessly suspenseful and vastly moving but that compels readers to fathom their hearts and consciences in ways that only the greatest theater ever can.

"A drama of emotional power and impact" --New York Post

Never left my hands

It takes me a long time normally to read any kind of book, sometimes even a month. This book was so good, however, that I managed to finish it within three days. And it actually had me laughing in parts, which in books is rather hard to do to me. A must read for the fantasy-oriented reader!

Highly Enjoyable!

My friend let me borrow this book, and I had doubts for it since we have very different tastes for music, movies, and books, but I highly enjoyed this book! Its through the eyes of Stacey who practices Wicca and witchcraft taught to her by her grandmother who already passed away. Stacey has nightmares which then lead to giving her clues that her bestfriend Drea will be murdered. Stalkers, notes, and murder eventually lead...
