The foremost dramatist of his age, Henrik Ibsen was perhaps the greatest Nordic playwright ever. His plays,
four of which are collected here, delve into the nature of man. Each of the pieces centers upon personal awakening
and inner transformation through confrontations with family guilt, social hypocrisy, conventional sexual morality,
and the materialistic bourgeois ethic. All are charged with Ibsen�s dramatic sense of dynamic human relationships;
all reflect his fascination with the frontiers of human development. Today these plays speak with extraordinary
relevance to an age searching for new modes of thought and new states of consciousness with which to discover and
to change the world.
