The slamming of the front door at the end of A Doll's House shatters the romantic masquerade of the Helmers' marriage. In their stultifying and infantilised relationship, Nora and Torvald have deceived themselves and each other both consciously and subconsciously, until Nora acknowledges the need for individual freedom.
A revised student edition of classic set text- A Doll's House (1879), is a masterpiece of theatrical craft which, for the first time portrayed the tragic hypocrisy of Victorian middle class marriage on stage. The play ushered in a new social era and exploded like a bomb into contemporary life.
Meyer's translations of Ibsen are a major fact in one's general sense of post-war drama. Their vital pace, their unforced insistence on the poetic centre of Ibsen's genius, have beaten academic versions from the field (George Steiner).

Product description

Review

'Ibsen's great feminist drama' Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph, 20.5.09 'Many a husband reeled back in horror after the premiere of Ibsen's marriage-shaking play in 1879. The fellow was actually challenging the sacred values of family life by suggesting a woman could break free of the marital gilded cage. What next? They will want the vote.' Paul Callan, Daily Express, 20.5.09 'Ibsen's drama is a powerful statement of his radical beliefs about gender, the folly of idealism and the nature of modern love. In essence, it is the story of woman who wakes up to reality.' Henry Hitchings, Evening Standard, 20.5.09 'Ibsen caused a storm with the notion that women were as entitled as men to think and live for themselves.' John Nathan, Jewish Chronicle, 21.5.09

Book Description

The play is combined with a full commentary on the plot, context, themes, characters, language and critical reception.

Although written in late 19th century, the story of Nora and Torvald isn't obsolete for our times. Nora is every woman who is stuck in a hypocritical marriage, where the husband believes he is a more a care taker than a friendly and understanding companion. A marriage where she is obliged to be at her husband's service and nurturing of their children but shouldn't poke her nose, even in the most desparate condition, when it comes to financial matters. On the other hand Torvald lives through an illusion in which he confuses constant attention to his wife as never ending love. The disclosure of a concealed chapter in Nora's life and Torvald's initial reaction led Nora to discover how stranger they were to each other and how she is considered a 'doll' because she lacks individualism. What was that Nora has been hiding from Torvald and What was the aftermath of her discovery define this play. Ibsen's portrayal of Nora is a true reflection of how women were and are considered to be less important and incapable of making important decisions.

When it comes to the book, the publishers have done a good job. They have a chosen a nice readable font which is sufficiently big enough to be read even from a 40cm distance. No grammatical errors or spelling mistakes to my notice. Small enough book size so that you can carry it with you wherever you go and, big enough not to be un-noticed and forgotten.

When it comes to delivery, I have ordered 4 other books with this and each one of them were delivered in a good condition. The packaging was good and the delivery was on time.

In the end, thanks to Henrik Ibsen for this wonderful and gripping play which is never obsolete. Thanks to Maple press pvt ltd for their nice readable font and, thanks to amazon for delivering it on time and in good condition
