Description

About the Book: Hedda Gabler, a masterpiece of modern theater, is a gripping psychological drama that has tested the skills of leading actresses in each generation since its first production in Norway in 1890. Ibsen's portrayal of Hedda presents an aristocratic woman who is spiritually empty, lacking in redeeming qualities. George Bernard Shaw aptly described her as lacking conscience and conviction, remaining petty, envious, insolent, and cruel as a form of protest against others' happiness. Her deep-seated anger and jealousy towards a former schoolmate, as well as her manipulative actions towards her husband and a former admirer, ultimately lead her on a destructive path that culminates in her own tragic downfall. This affordable and beautifully presented edition of Hedda Gabler offers an unforgettable experience for anyone who appreciates outstanding drama or exceptional literature.
