Henrik Ibsen

Written late in Ibsen's career as a dramatist, the four plays in this volume move away from his earlier preoccupation with people at odds with society, to explore the inward struggle with their own thoughts, feelings and dreams. It depicts a powerful man's collapse, an idealist's beliefs, a man's self-deception, and a sister's bitter struggle.

Summary

The four plays in this volume, written late in Ibsen's career as a dramatist, move away from his earlier preoccupation with people at odds with society to instead explore the inward struggle with their own thoughts, feelings and dreams. "The Master Builder" (1892) depicts a powerful man whose illusions collapse in the face of a young woman's courageous common sense. In "Rosmersholm" (1886), an idealist is forced to question his beliefs and confront terrible truths about the past, while "Little Eyolf" (1894) portrays a man's self-deception, which brings both tragic repercussions for his family and new hope for their future. And in "John Gabriel Borkman" (1896), a dying woman returns to reclaim the affections and loyalty of her nephew, resulting in a bitter struggle with her sister.
