An Ideal Husband is a play written by Oscar Wilde and first performed in 1895. The story revolves around Sir Robert Chiltern, a successful politician and respected member of society, who is confronted with a past mistake that threatens to ruin his career and marriage. A mysterious woman named Mrs. Cheveley blackmails Sir Robert, demanding that he use his political influence to support a fraudulent scheme. As the plot unfolds, secrets are revealed, relationships are tested, and characters are forced to confront their own values and morals. The play explores themes of corruption, morality, and the consequences of one's actions. With its witty dialogue and complex characters, An Ideal Husband is considered one of Wilde's greatest works and a classic example of Victorian-era drama.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.
