J. M. Synge 
The Playboy of the Western World [EPUB ebook] 

Here is the story of Christy Mahon, hailed as a hero (and an immediate object of romantic attention) for his claim to have killed his cruel father. However, when he finds out his father survived, Mahon attempts to murder him a second time. Will he succeed? Considered Synge’s masterpiece, this play was viewed as indecent and met with riots when first performed.
