An Ideal Husband is a play written by Oscar Wilde that was first performed in 1895. The story revolves around Sir Robert Chiltern, a successful politician who is admired by his peers and beloved by his wife. However, his past comes back to haunt him when a woman blackmails him, threatening to reveal a secret that could ruin his career and reputation. As the play progresses, Sir Robert struggles to maintain his integrity while also protecting his political future. Meanwhile, his wife, Lady Chiltern, must confront her own ideals and beliefs as she learns about her husband's past. The play explores themes of morality, loyalty, and the consequences of one's actions. With its witty dialogue and complex characters, An Ideal Husband is considered one of Wilde's most popular works and a classic of English literature.MABEL CHILTERN. How can you say such a thing? Why, he rides in the Row at ten o'clock in the morning, goes to the Opera three times a week, changes his clothes at least five times a day, and dines out every night of the season. You don't call that leading an idle life, do you?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
