Ibsen Vol. 1: Four Major Plays

Among the greatest and best known of Ibsen's works , these four plays brilliantly exemplify his landmark contributions to the theatre: his realistic dialogue, probing of social problems and depiction of characters' inner lives as well as their actions. Rich in symbolism and often autobiographical, each deals convincingly and provocatively with such universal themes as greed, fear and sexual hostility, and confronts the eternal conflict between reality and illusion. Includes A Doll House, The Wild Duck, Hedda Gabler & The Master Builder.
