From the back cover the publisher writes: “Among the greatest and best known of Ibsen’s works, these four plays brilliantly exemplify his landmark contributions to the theater: his probing of social problems, realistic dialogue, and depiction of his characters’ inner lives as well as their actions. Rich in symbolism and often autobiographical, each of these dramas deals convincingly and provocatively with the universal human emotions of greed, fear, and sexual hostility, and confronts the eternal confict between reality and illusion. These Rolf Fjelde translations, newly revised for this edition, have been widely acclaimed as the definitive version of the major works of the father of modern theater. Translated and with a Foreword by Rolf Fjelde. Cover art: ‘The Voice,’ Edvard Munch, Munchmuseet, Oslo, Courtesy SCALA/Art Resource.” Reading these four plays, A Doll House, The Wild Duck, Hedda Gabler and The Master Builder by Henrik Ibsen will give you an understanding of the reason he is proclaimed by critics to be the father of modern theater.
