Crucible, The - Arthur Miller - Audio Book
Crucible, The - Arthur Miller : Salem, Massachusetts, 1692. A community stands accused of witchcraft, and in the mood of fear and recrimination that quickly develops men denounce their neighbours, truth is perverted by superstition, and an innocent word or deed can be distorted
into damning evidence of guilt.
The voice of reason is drowned by the rising tide of hysteria as events acquire their own momentum and run out of control.
Drawing its inspiration from the McCarthy hearings in the United States in the 1950s, 'The Crucible' uses seventeenth-century history to explore the consequences for society when men allow the dark forces of unreason to be unleashed.
Do we really have to go back in the 50s to read the story of such an event? Today, in the 21st century, there are still and it seems to me more and more such events which are happening. Just listen to this audio book : the story is a masterpiece.
