About This Item
Very good copy of 1959 Pulitzer Prize winning drama on a modern story of Job. Some soiling and chipping to front and back panel of DJ. Text is clean and unmarked.
Synopsis
Based on the story of Job, this drama in verse tells the story of a twentieth-century American banker and millionaire whom God commands be stripped of his family and wealth, but who refuses to turn his back on God. J.B. won the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1959 and the Tony Award for best play. More important, the play sparked a national conversation about the nature of God, the meaning of hope, and the role of the artist in society.
