The Lady from the Sea
Autor Henrik Ibsen Traducere de Eleanor Marx Avelingen Limba Engleză Paperback
When the lighthouse keeper's daughter Ellida meets the widower Dr Wangel, she tries to put her long-lost first love far behind her and begin a new life as a wife and stepmother. But the tide is turning, an English ship is coming down the fjord, and the undercurrents threaten to drag a whole family beneath the surface in this passionate and sweeping drama. Ellida must choose between the values of the land: solidity and reliability against those of the sea: mystery and fluidity.
Ibsen's lyrical and still startlingly modern masterpiece, anticipated the emergence of psychoanalysis and talking cures. Similar to Hedda Gabler and A Doll's House, The Lady from the Sea vibrantly explores the constrained social position of women, exploring themes of choice, marriage, responsibility and freedom.
David Eldridge's translation is subtle, faithful and sensitive to Ibsen's language, and makes this classic play accessible to the English reader without compromising any of the original's intensely poetic and atmospheric tone.

Recenzii
'a new adaptation of the work by acclaimed English playwright David Eldridge'
'David Eldridge's superb new version plunges headfirst into its strange Freudian depths without neglecting its sly humour. This is writing that is attuned to the tug of unspoken desire that threatens to drag us all under, but also to the embarrassing misunderstandings of everyday life.'
'The Lady from the Sea encompasses all those familiar Ibsen themes: duty, responsibility, the position of women and how the past encroaches on the future. But it is about something more slippery and moist, too: Ellida is not suffering from nerves as her husband believes, she is in the grip of the madness of sexual and emotional obsession.'
'this fine new version of the text by David Eldridge keeps the language lyrical yet lean, laced with a mordant wit.'
'an adaptation by David Eldridge every bit as poetic and absorbing as his versions of Ibsen's The Wild Duck and John Gabriel Borkman'
'Something of an Ibsen specialist now, what with John Gabriel Borkman and The Wild Duck at the Donmar under his belt, David Eldrige's new version of The Lady from the Sea (1888) is highly commendable - it's lucid, sufficiently lyrical and attentively colloquial but not showily, distractingly so.'
