Книга: Ibsen The Wild Duck

This 1884 masterpiece may have had its genesis in the hostile reception Ibsen-widely regarded as the father of modern realist drama-had received from the Norwegian public and critics for Ghosts, which gave theater-goers a larger dose of truth than most were willing to bear. His next three plays - "The Wild Duck", "An Enemy of the People", and "Rosmersholm" - focused on the consequences of telling the truth, or forbearing to do so.
