Description
Four of Ibsen's most important plays in superb modern translations, part of the new Penguin Ibsen series With her assertion that she is “first and foremost a human being,” Nora Helmer sent shockwaves throughout Europe when she appeared in Henrik Ibsen's greatest and most famous play,A Doll's House. Depicting one woman's struggle to be treated as a rational human being, and not merely a wife, mother, or fragile doll, the play sparked debates worldwide about the roles of men and women in society. Ibsen's follow-up,Ghosts, was no less radical, with its unrelenting investigation into religious hypocrisy, family secrets, and sexual double-dealing. These two masterpieces are accompanied here byThe Pillars of Society and An Enemy of the People, both exploring the tensions and dark compromises at the heart of society. For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,500 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
