This collection brings together three of Henrik Ibsen’s most influential and groundbreaking plays, which challenged the rigid social norms and stifling moral conventions of 19th-century European society. “A Doll’s House,” Ibsen’s seminal work, created an uproar upon its 1879 debut with its daring portrayal of a woman defying her traditional role as a wife and mother to pursue her own identity and independence. “Ghosts” (1881) tackled the then-taboo subjects of infidelity and venereal disease, while “An Enemy of the People” (1882) skewered the hypocrisy and moral cowardice of the bourgeoisie. Ibsen’s unflinching examination of social ills and his advocacy for individual truth and freedom made him a pioneering figure in the realist and modernist movements, paving the way for 20th-century dramatists like Strindberg, Shaw, and O’Neill. This well-preserved volume offers collectors and readers alike an opportunity to immerse themselves in the revolutionary works that cemented Ibsen’s reputation as the “Father of Modern Drama.”
