A Doll's House (AmazonClassics Edition)

Nora Helmer has a secret—a necessary lie that, when discovered, breaks her provincial bourgeois home and awakens her to the oppression of her marriage and the suppression of her own discontent. For Nora, it’s also an opportunity to escape from her controlling husband and a chance to be recognized not only as a wife or a mother but as a human being.

Upending expectations for domestic drama and the traditional roles of men and women, A Doll’s House shocked the world, sparked debates about gender and marriage, and changed theater history.
