Frick, a no-nonsense successful businessman is shocked to find that the younger man, Leroy Hamliton, though descended from one of the Founding Fathers of the USA is, by profession a carpenter and a fairly contented one to boot. As we meet their respective wives, the play opens up some of the psycho-moral paradoxes haunting contemporary life.\"The Last Yankee reasserts Miller's unquestionable dominance of American drama it has the same brooding, powerful quality as all his work: it is a hard, dark elegy of American life, a pensive diagnosis, a requiem with a fugitive bass-note of hope.\" (John Peter, The Sunday Times)","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49533932863761,"sku":"GOR001663550","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0413677206.jpg?v=1751071677","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/the-last-yankee-book-arthur-miller-9780413677204","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
