Publisher's Synopsis
Rosmersholm: The Lady From The Sea is a play written by the Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen in 1914. The play is set in the small town of Rosmersholm and follows the story of the Rosmer family. The main character, John Rosmer, is a former clergyman who has lost his faith and is struggling to find meaning in his life. He is married to Beata, who is mentally unstable and is haunted by the memory of her late father. The story takes a turn when John meets a mysterious woman named Ellida, who is the Lady From The Sea. Ellida is a free spirit who is trapped in a loveless marriage and longs to be free. She and John begin a relationship, but their happiness is short-lived as Beata's mental state deteriorates further and she becomes increasingly jealous and paranoid. The play explores themes of love, freedom, and the struggle between tradition and modernity. It is considered one of Ibsen's most complex and challenging works, as it deals with psychological and philosophical issues in a deeply symbolic and metaphorical way. The play has been adapted for the stage and screen numerous times and continues to be a popular work of literature today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
