Mr. Punch's Pocket Ibsen
by F. Anstey
'Mr. Punch's Pocket Ibsen' Summary
This delightful collection of parodies offers a humorous take on five classic Ibsen plays: Rosmersholm, A Doll's House, Hedda Gabler, The Wild Duck, and The Master Builder. F. Anstey cleverly captures the essence of Ibsen's writing, while infusing it with witty observations and a touch of absurdity. The result is a series of entertaining stories that playfully critique the conventions of Ibsen's dramas and explore themes of love, marriage, society, and the human condition.Book Details
