<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This dark psychological drama depicts the evil machinations of a ruthless, nihilistic heroine. Readers will discover an exploration of the nature of evil and the tragedy that lies in human frailty.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A masterpiece of modern theater, <i>Hedda Gabler</i> is a dark psychological drama whose powerful and reckless heroine has tested the mettle of leading actresses of every generation since its first production in Norway in 1890.<br>Ibsen's Hedda is an aristocratic and spiritually hollow woman, nearly devoid of redeeming virtues. George Bernard Shaw described her as having no conscience, no conviction ... she remains mean, envious, insolent, cruel, in protest against others' happiness. Her feeling of anger and jealousy toward a former schoolmate and her ruthless manipulation of her husband and an earlier admirer lead her down a destructive path that ends abruptly with her own tragic demise.<br>Presented in this handsome, inexpensive edition, <i>Hedda Gabler</i> offers an unforgettable experience for any lover of great drama or fine literature. Among the most performed and studied of Ibsen's dramas, it continues to provoke and challenge audiences and readers all over the world.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Only Shakespeare's plays are performed more frequently than those of Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906). The Norwegian playwright, theater director, and poet scandalized many of his contemporaries as he led the theater into the modern era by exploring the realities behind 19th-century social conventions.
