Four Great Plays by Henrik Ibsen

Here, in a single volume, are four major plays by the first modern playwright, Henrick Ibsen. "Ghosts" -the startling portrayal of a family destroyed by disease and infidelity. "The Wild Duck" -- A poignant drama of lost illusions. "An Enemy Of The People" -- Ibsen's vigorous attack on public opinion. And "A Doll's House" -- the play that scandalized the Victorian world with its unsparing views of love and marriage, featuring one of the most controversial heroines -- and one of the most famous exists -- in the literature of the stage.

Ibsen was a playwright and poet. He worked at theatres in Bergen and Kristiania. He later went into voluntary exile after his theatre went bankrupt. He suffered a stroke in 1900 which ended his literary career.

Although Ibsen outraged many of his contemporaries, he persisted: he shocked the unthinking into thinking and blasted through the thick fog of convention to the restless human passions hidden underneath. Today his plays remain masterpieces of psychological insight and theatrical power.
