Bücher von Eugene O'Neill

Long Day's Journey into Night was written in 1940 but not staged until 1956, after O'Neill's death. Unashamedly autobiographical, it is, as he puts it himself in the dedicatory note, 'a play of old sorrow, written in tears and blood', a harrowing attempt to understand himself and his family.

The plot centers on Nina Leeds, the daughter of a classics professor at a college in New England, who is devastated when her adored fiancé is killed in World War I, before they have a chance to consummate their passion.

»Eines langen Tages Reise in die Nacht«, ein Klassiker des modernen amerikanischen Dramas, das 1957 mit dem Pulitzer-Preis für Theater sowie dem Tony Award ausgezeichnet wurde.Eugene O¿Neills berühmtes, autobiographisch gefärbtes Familiendrama zeigt von Morgen bis Mitternacht eines einzigen Tages das Leben, das Leiden der Familie Tyrone, deren Mitglieder, in ihre Neurosen eingesperrt, im Aufrollen der Vergangenheit ihr Innerstes und ihre Beziehungen zueinander enthüllen. James Tyrone, einst ein erfolgreicher Schauspieler, kann seine armselige Jugend nicht vergessen und tyrannisiert die Familie mit seinem Geiz, an dem bereits ein Sohn zugrunde gegangen ist. Das Bewusstsein dieser Schuld treibt Tyrones Frau in die Morphiumsucht. Der Sohn James wird zum Trinker und Zyniker; sein jüngerer Bruder Edmund leidet an Schwindsucht, die als Sommergrippe bagatellisiert wird. Die Ausweglosigkeit ihres Schicksals treibt diese vier Menschen in gegenseitiges Quälen, Anschuldigen, Verzeihen und zum brutalen Aussprechen der Wahrheiten, die sich jahrzehntelang hinter Lebenslügen verstecken mussten.
