About this audiobook

In Henrik Ibsen's "Ghosts," readers are thrust into a world of haunting secrets and suppressed truths that lurk beneath the surface of a seemingly respectable family. Set in a small Norwegian town, the play centers around the Alvings, whose façade of respectability is shattered when the ghosts of their past come back to haunt them. As Mrs. Alving struggles to come to terms with the legacy of her late husband's actions and the impact they have had on her family, she is forced to confront the uncomfortable truths that lie buried within her own heart.


Through Ibsen's piercing social critique and psychological insight, "Ghosts" exposes the hypocrisy and moral decay that lurks beneath the surface of bourgeois society. As the characters grapple with the consequences of their actions and the weight of societal expectations, readers are drawn into a world where the sins of the past cast a long shadow over the present. With its searing indictment of societal norms and its exploration of the human capacity for self-deception, "Ghosts" remains as relevant today as it was when first penned, challenging readers to confront uncomfortable truths about themselves and the society in which they live.
