One of the great writers of the 20th century, Arthur Miller was born in New York City in 1915. For Miller, truth and morality are the highest priorities.

“Life is always more perfect than art.”

He has also written two novels Focus and The Misfits, which was filmed, and the text for In Russia, In the Country and Chinese Encounters, three books of photographs by his wife Inge Morath. His autobiography Timebends was published in 1987 and his collected essays Echoes Down the Corridor in 2000.

He has twice won the New York Drama Critics Award, and in 1949 he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize. His final book, On Politics and the Art of Acting (2001), received Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.
