Ghosts eBook Henrik Ibsen William Archer
"As snug as a yolk in an egg" meaning "being comfortable in a house" is an example of beautiful expressions used by the venerable and brilliant playwright Henrik Ibsen. Ghosts was highly controversial during Ibsen's time because of the disturbing themes in this edgy play. Themes like cohabitation, although common as garden variety vegetables today in Norway, challenged the social mores of Norway 150 years ago. Even the then Norwegian king found the play distasteful. The central figure in the play was the poor long suffering Mrs Alvin. Both her late husband and her son were afflicted with the "Benjamin Button's" disease with her son's condition surfacing only when he turned 16, devastating the poor mother. Despite Mrs Alvin's extensive combative measures to shield her son from her husband's sins, we once again witness that man is never master of his destiny. Like hereditary diseases, the sins of the fathers will be felt by the children and their children.Product details

Ghosts eBook Henrik Ibsen William Archer Reviews
Excellent
classic Ibsen, always a great read, at a great price.
😃😃😃
A masterful play in terms of compression, pointed dialogue, and structure. I sense that Tennessee Williams must have been influenced by Ibsen.
I admit it took me awhile to understand what was going on this story due to the older dialect, but once I did, I felt that the story went by way too fast. It was rushed. Then before I knew it, the book was over.
One of Ibsen's most shocking plays.
I'm a big fan of Ibsen's prescience in writing about issues that are still very current. "Ghosts" is one that explores the sexual secrets in families. The play was considered scandalous in the early 1880s when it first appeared, and the subject matter is scandalous still today.
