The fearsome outlaw, Hans of Iceland, whose face has been seen by no one, determines to kill a regiment of Musketeers that he blames for the death of his son. His revenge intersects in a bloody way with the more conventional romantic plot of a young nobleman who loves the daughter of a political prisoner that the former Chancellor of Norway has held in thrall for many years. The tension ratchets up, culminating in a conflagration à la Samson that seems to anticipate the Grand Guignol movement by nearly a century. The story has the nightmarish logic of a bad dream. As one contemporary reviewer said: \"If genius is very close to madness, then this work is very close to genius.\" Great drama from a great writer!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46494633164951,"sku":"9781479400188","price":1295.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/hans-of-iceland-a-play-in-three-acts-9781479400188","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
