Más información sobre el libro

The Crucible is a dramatization of the Salem witch-hunt, which took place in colonial Massachusetts from 1692 to 1693. Arthur Miller wrote the play at the time of McCarthyism when the U.S. government officially blacklisted accused communists. The play is not only concerned with the parallels between the witch trials and the hearings of the McCarthy era in the 1950s, but is also a timeless parable about superstition, paranoia and the terror caused by false accusations.
