K kont͡su dvadt͡satykh godov proshlogo veka I͡Udzhin O`Nil stal vedushchim amerikanskim dramaturgom. Ego pʹesy vpechatli͡ali zriteleĭ smelymi idei͡ami, zhiznennymi si͡uzhetami i glubinoĭ, a podnimaemye avtorom aktualʹnye sot͡sialʹnye i vnevremennye filosofskie voprosy ne mogli ostavitʹ publiku ravnodushnoĭ.

V ėtot sbornik voshli izbrannye proizvedenii͡a I͡Udzhina O`Nila, v tom chisle i udostoennye Pulitt͡serovskoĭ premii pʹesy "Za gorizontom" i "Anna Kristi".

By the end of the twenties of the last century, Eugene O'Neill had become a leading American playwright. His plays impressed the audience with bold ideas, vital plots and depth, and the topical social and timeless philosophical issues raised by the author could not leave the audience indifferent. Thanks to his innovative approach, he became, according to critic John Gassner, the creator of the American naturalistic drama. Another well-known theater critic, George Gene Nathan, wrote that "no one compares to O'Neill in his ability to understand the character of characters, in his knowledge of people, in his understanding of the stage and its possibilities." This collection includes selected works by Eugene O'Neill, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning plays Beyond the Horizon and Anna Christie.
