Description
The First Man is a posthumously published autobiographical novel by the renowned American playwright, Eugene O'Neill. The book is a fictionalized account of O'Neill's early life and family history, including his childhood in New York City and his family's Irish roots. The novel follows the life of the protagonist, Edmund, who is based on O'Neill himself, from his early years in a dysfunctional family to his teenage years in a Catholic boarding school. The story explores themes of family, identity, and the search for meaning in life. It also delves into the complex relationship between father and son, as Edmund struggles to come to terms with his father's alcoholism and his own identity as an artist. The novel is notable for its vivid descriptions of New York City in the early 20th century, as well as its exploration of the Irish-American experience. The First Man was published posthumously in 1994, several decades after O'Neill's death, and is considered one of his most personal and moving works.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.
