Description
A first edition, first printing of ‘A View From The Bridge’ published by Cresset in 1957. A near fine book without inscriptions – minor spotting. In a near fine unclipped wrapper – some wear to the corners.
A tragic play set in an Italian-American neighbourhood in Brooklyn. It follows Eddie Carbone, a longshoreman whose protective feelings for his niece Catherine turn possessive when she falls for an immigrant, Rodolpho. The story explores themes of jealousy, masculinity, and justice within a tight-knit community. Written in a modern Greek tragedy style, the play reveals how suppressed desires and pride lead to betrayal and destruction.
