Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Recenzii

'Christopher Fry, a poet of genius, has added, in his translation of Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt, a new work of genius to English Literature. Peer Gynt never 'read right' in English before. Now it does.'Dr R.C. Poole, Dept. of English, University of Nottingham
'an ultimately bleak but nonetheless entertaining classic'Herts Advertiser

Notă biografică

Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) was a Norwegian theatre director and one of the most influential playwrights of his time. He was a founder of modernism in theatre and is considered the father of realism. His plays, originally written in Danish, have been translated and performed all over the world. 'A Doll's House' (1879) is his most celebrated work and has been recognised for its pioneering feminist themes, which were the cause of much controversy following the play's premiering performance.
