Four of Ibsens most important plays in superb modern translations in a new Penguin Classics edition.

With her assertion that she is first and foremost a human being, rather than a wife, mother or fragile doll, Nora Helmer sent shockwaves throughout Europe when she appeared in Henrik Ibsens greatest and most famous play, A Dolls House.

Ibsens 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 by The Pillars of SocietyandAn Enemy of the People, both exploring the tensions and dark compromises at the heart of society.
