Henrik Ibsen
6 libri
- A Doll’s House EnglishYou spend the whole play watching Nora play the giggling little wife Torvald wants, sneaking macaroons and dancing the tarantella, while something underneath tightens like a wire. It reads fast, feels a bit stagey at first, then that final scene lands and stays with you.
- Ghosts EnglishFair warning, this one is bleak: Mrs. Alving has spent years protecting her dead husband's reputation, and you watch the cost of that lie come due in a single day. Short, tense, and quietly furious about respectability.
- Hedda Gabler EnglishHedda is bored in a way that turns dangerous, playing with her father's pistols while her dull new husband fusses over his research, and you watch her wreck things almost for sport. It's a short, cold, fascinating play, better if you like your protagonists unlikable.
- Helene Alving sta per aprire un orfanotrofio in memoria del defunto marito, e suo figlio Osvald è tornato da Parigi, ma il passato continua a rientrare in casa. Il dramma di Ibsen è serrato e cupo, sul dovere e sull'eredità.
- The Master Builder EnglishYou watch the powerful architect Halvard Solness grow increasingly unnerved when the young Hilda Wangel reappears in his life, and the play turns ambition, guilt, and desire into something feverish and strange. It’s a compact, unsettling read, especially if you like characters who can’t outrun themselves.
- The Wild Duck EnglishYou get a darkly funny, claustrophobic family drama where Gregers Werle’s hunger for absolute truth collides with Hjalmar Ekdal’s comforting self-deceptions. The wild duck in the attic feels oddly central, and the play keeps asking whether honesty heals people or simply gives suffering a cleaner name.
