As in Norwegian, I have to ask... is Vildanden (the wild duck) not one of his most known/iconic plays outside of Norway? I would say it's easily one of the three defining plays people would know about over here, so it confuses me to see it mentioned like this.
- chungleong 7y agoMy impression is that a Doll's House and Ghosts are much better known in the English speaking world. Enemy of the People too--probably because of the punchy title.
- highesttide 7y agoInteresting, over here I would say et Dukkehjem (a doll's house), Vildanden (the wild duck), and Peer Gynt are his most known works, probably not-very-closely followed by en folkefiende (Enemy of the people). Fascinating.
- chungleong 7y agoThe message of the Wild Duck is sort of unpopular. If we could somehow stage the play on HN, it'd probably get massively downvoted :-)
