The First Man

Bag om The First Man

The First Man by Eugene O'Neill is a posthumously published autobiographical novel that details the author's early life growing up in a dysfunctional family in a poor Irish-American neighborhood in New York City. The book is divided into three parts, each of which covers a different stage of the author's life. The first part covers O'Neill's childhood, including his relationship with his parents, his schooling, and his early experiences with alcohol and drugs. The second part covers his adolescence and young adulthood, during which he struggled with depression, addiction, and a sense of alienation from society. The third part covers O'Neill's early career as a writer and his eventual emergence as a major figure in American literature. Throughout the book, O'Neill reflects on the themes of family, identity, and the search for meaning in life. The First Man is a deeply personal and introspective work that offers a unique glimpse into the mind of one of America's greatest playwrights.JOHN--[Indignantly.] I'm not. I think I've showed my willingness to do everything I could. If Curt was only the least bit grateful! He isn't. He hates us all and wishes we were out of his home. I would have left long ago if I didn't want to do my part in saving the family name from disgrace.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
