In this fresh adaptation by May-Brit Akerholt, the pull of the tide meets the stability of the land. Questions of freedom and responsibility, conformity and independence, emotion and rationality prove startlingly contemporary, as relevant as when Ibsen first penned the play in 1888.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e May-Brit Akerholt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1760622311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781760622312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Currency Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.39w x 0.29d","brand":"May-Brit Akerholt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440008868095,"sku":"9781760622312","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8fb20ae-903b-4960-b381-f30ba532e35b.jpg?v=1777180079","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ellida-may-brit-akerholt-9781760622312","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
