<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Ibsen's best-known play displays his genius for realistic prose drama. An expression of women's rights, the play climaxes when the central character, Nora, rejects a smothering marriage and life in a doll's house.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>One of the best-known, most frequently performed of modern plays, <i>A Doll's House</i> richly displays the genius with which Henrik Ibsen pioneered modern, realistic prose drama. In the central character of Nora, Ibsen epitomized the human struggle against the humiliating constraints of social conformity. Nora's ultimate rejection of a smothering marriage and life in a doll's house shocked theatergoers of the late 1800s and opened new horizons for playwrights and their audiences.<br>But daring social themes are only one aspect of Ibsen's power as a dramatist. <i>A Doll's House</i> shows as well his gifts for creating realistic dialogue, a suspenseful flow of events and, above all, psychologically penetrating characterizations that make the struggles of his dramatic personages utterly convincing. Here is a deeply absorbing play as readable as it is eminently playable, reprinted from an authoritative translation.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>One of the best-known, most frequently performed of modern plays, <i>A Doll's House</i> richly displays the genius with which Henrik Ibsen pioneered modern, realistic prose drama.
