Henrik Ibsen

A Doll's House (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

On Christmas Eve, Nora and Torvald Helmer host unexpected guests: Nora's friend Kristine, Dr. Rank, a close family friend, and Krogstad, an employee at Torvald's bank. As the Helmers contend with their guests' hidden agendas and deceits in their own marriage, Nora is forced to confront her husband's true selfish nature and acknowledge what she truly desires from life.

Written in 1879, Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House was scandalous for its criticism of nineteenth-century marriage and the constraints on women's identities in the male-dominated society of the time. A Doll's House is one of the most performed stage plays in the world, and has also been adapted for film.

Autorenporträt

Born in 1828, Henrik Ibsen was a Norwegian playwright and poet, often associated with the early Modernist movement in theatre. Determined to become a playwright from a young age, Ibsen began writing while working as an apprentice pharmacist to help support his family. Though his early plays were largely unsuccessful, Ibsen was able to take employment at a theatre where he worked as a writer, director, and producer. Ibsen's first success came with Brand and Peter Gynt, and with later plays like A Doll's House, Ghosts, and The Master Builder he became one of the most performed playwrights in the world, second only to William Shakespeare. Ibsen died in his home in Norway in 1906 at the age of 78.
