Synopsis "An Ideal Husband (Mint Editions) (in English)"

Sir Robert Chiltern is a rising political star who's confronted by the unsavory Mrs. Cheveley with news that could destroy his personal and professional life. In An Ideal Husband Sir Robert is forced to face the truth about his deceptive origins. Sir Robert Chiltern and his wife Lady Chiltern are surrounded by wealth and luxury. The former amassed a fortune as a young man, which helped catapult his social status. While attending a high-class event, Sir Robert is corned by Mrs. Cheveley--a former foe of Lady Chiltern. She demands he take part in an unethical business proposal or she'll expose his corrupt past. The ultimatum has unforeseen consequences that effect his marriage and professional relationships. An Ideal Husband delivers a bold commentary on London's elite. Wilde highlights the hypocrisy of pious figures, who are driven by ego and greed. Along with The Importance of Being Earnest, An Ideal Husband is one of his most produced plays. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of An Ideal Husband is both modern and readable.
