A Doll's House - Literary Touchstone Edition

This Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Edition includes a glossary and reader's notes to help the modern reader contend with Ibsen's approach to complex human interactions and the relationship between the sexes.Norwegian-born Henrik Ibsen's classic play about the struggle between independence and security still resonates with readers and audience members today. Often hailed as an early feminist work, the story of Nora and Torvald rises above simple gender issues to ask the bigger question: "To what extent have we sacrificed our selves for the sake of social customs and to protect what we think is love?" Nora's struggle and ultimate realizations about her life invite all of us to examine our own lives and find the many ways we have made ourselves dolls and playthings in the hands of forces we believe to be beyond our control.Henrik Ibsen is the author of 'A Doll's House - Literary Touchstone Edition', published 2005 under ISBN 9781580495981 and ISBN 1580495982.
