Eugene O'Neill's autobiographical play Long Day's Journey into Night is regarded as his finest work. First published by Yale University Press in 1956, it won the Pulitzer Prize in 1957 and has since sold more than one million copies. This edition, which includes a new foreword by Harold Bloom, coincides with a new production of the play starring Brian Dennehy, which opens in Chicago in January 2002 and in New York in April.

The playwright’s first full-length drama and winner of the Pulitzer Prize (1920) concerns two brothers in love with the same woman. Robert Mayo, who had dreamed of adventure "beyond the horizon," remains behind and weds the lady in question, while his brother, Andrew, goes to sea. In the end, embittered and dying, Robert dreams of the escape that lies "beyond the horizon."

《毛猿》是尤金·奥尼尔创作的一部兼有现实主义、表现主义和象征主义的戏剧。主人公扬克是一艘远洋轮船上的司炉，以身强力壮得到同伴的敬畏而自豪，但在遭到旅客中一个有钱女人的侮辱后，便失去了生活的方向，到处寻找自我的归属感，他与动物园的一只大猩猩结交成了朋友，结果却死在它的大力拥抱之中。剧本表明在冷酷无情的资本主义社会，像扬克这样的工人只能忍受非人的待遇，要想改变这种状况，只会遭到更加悲惨的结局。

Winner of four Pulitzer Prizes and the first American dramatist to receive a Nobel Prize, Eugene O'Neill filled his plays with rich characterization and innovative language, taking the outcasts and renegades of society and depicting their Olympian struggles with themselves-and with destiny.
