How you explore A Doll's House on Literah
The cast, the places, the objects, the plot, and the author’s own words — each one a card in a feed you scroll on your phone. One at a time, at your pace, in any order you like.
- Built for your phone. Literah is designed for mobile, so your worlds travel with you. On a laptop it shows a QR code to carry the world to your phone.
- A feed, not a wall of text. 11 characters, 7 places, 13 objects and 4 plot beats, each its own card with its own illustration.
- The author’s own words. 25 passages of A Doll's House sit in the feed verbatim, exactly as Henrik Ibsen wrote them, each with a short reading of what it is doing. The map is ours; the prose is always the book’s.
- The same scroll, a better world. The gesture you already give away to feeds, spent on Henrik Ibsen instead.
