It centers around the Ekdal family, particularly Hjalmar Ekdal, who lives a modest life with his wife Gina and daughter Hedvig. Hjalmar's old friend, Gregers Werle, visits and stirs up trouble by revealing the hidden truths about Gina’s past and Hedvig's paternity. Gregers believes honesty will lead to healing, but his interference only causes suffering. Hedvig, in a tragic attempt to prove her love for her father, sacrifices herself.<br />The play explores themes of illusion, the destructive pursuit of truth, and the fragility of happiness. The wild duck, a symbol in the story, represents the family's retreat into comforting lies to cope with the harshness of reality. <a href="https://dreamaudiobooks.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Summary by Dream Audiobooks </a>]]></description><atom:link href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/6163087/episodes/feed" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><language>en</language><category>Arts</category><copyright>Copyright Dream audio books</copyright><image><url>https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/70aef1d22b4888a6d20e4c067cc67187.jpg</url><title>The Wild Duck by Henrik Ibsen</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wild-duck-the-by-henrik-ibsen-1828-1906--6163087</link></image><lastBuildDate>Mon, 19 Oct 2026 12:33:33 +0000</lastBuildDate><itunes:author>Henrik Ibsen</itunes:author><itunes:owner><itunes:name>Dream audio books</itunes:name><itunes:email>feeds@dreamaudiobooks.com</itunes:email></itunes:owner><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/70aef1d22b4888a6d20e4c067cc67187.jpg"/><itunes:subtitle>The Wild Duck (1884) (original Norwegian title: Vildanden) is by many considered Ibsen's finest work, and it is certainly the most complex.
