At the height of his career, the great Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen created a new drama of struggle between the inward needs of his characters and the demands of their social environments.
In Michael Meyer's fluent, idiomatic translations, The Wild Duck and Hedda Gabler stand as masterpieces of naturalist drama.

A Good Read,

This review is from: The Wild Duck and Hedda Gabler (Paperback)
Hedda Gabler is a must read for English majors like myself, but it is not a fun read nor a casual one. Hedda Gabler is a work meant for someone who likes to be surprised but has no fear when the story turns around and you as the reader need to analyze the characters. I recommend this work for those who enjoy a quick read but don't want to feel very disappointed in the end. The ending here is either loved or hated, so be warned.
