«Hedda Gabler» is the play by Henrik Ibsen, published by Losada in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
«Hedda Gabler» portrays a newly married woman trapped in a monotonous bourgeois life. Intelligent and proud, Hedda manipulates those around her while struggling between the desire for independence and the fear of scandal. Hedda's frustration and boredom drive a drama about social conventions, cowardice, and the will to dominate.
«Hedda Gabler» was originally published in 1890. This Losada edition, number 723 in the Teatro collection, includes translation and notes by José Pérez Bances.
For readers of classic theatre and literature students: a 19th-century drama about social pressure and the desire for independence.
Henrik Johan Ibsen was a Norwegian playwright. He is considered one of the world's pre-eminent writers of the 19th century and is often referred to as "the father of modern drama". He pioneered theatrical realism but also wrote lyrical epic works. His major works include Brand, Peer Gynt, Emperor and Galilean, A Doll's House, Ghosts, An Enemy of the People, The Wild Duck, Rosmersholm, Hedda Gabler, The Master Builder, and When We Dead Awaken. In 2014 Ibsen was considered the most frequently performed dramatist in the world after Shakespeare. Store norske leksikon describes him as "the center of the Norwegian literary canon".
