Aprašymas

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize

"Our Town leaves us with a sense of blessing, and the unspoken but palpable command to achieve gratitude in what remains of our days on earth." -- The New Yorker

In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, HarperCollins is proud to present this library of American classics drawn from our storied catalog. Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama of life in the mythical village of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire has been a beloved American classic for nearly a century. It is the story of a love affair that asks timeless questions about love, life, and death.

It explores the relationship between young neighbors George Gibbs and Emily Webb, whose childhood friendship blossoms into romance, then marriage. With poignancy and loving irony, this landmark of world drama, hailed by everyone from Edward Albee to Albert Einstein, shows what it means to appreciate life while we're living it, and considers what awaits us after that.

Widely considered one of the greatest American plays of all time, Our Town debuted on Broadway in 1938 and continues to be performed on stages around the world.
