Ibsen’s genius, revealed in these four selections, lies in his startling abiliy to define his characters and their struggles, whih epitomize the inner conflicts that beset all human beings. A chilling play of manipulation and obsession, “Hedda Gabler” features one of the stage’s most unforgettable modern heroines. A delightful early work, “Peer Gynt” is both a satire on the nature of man and a masterpiece of folklore and fantasy that follows the adventures of an irrepressible youth. Mysterious, lyrical, and tragic, “The Master Builder” symbolically dramatizes the trajectory of Ibsen’s own art as well as the impossible aspirations of the soul. This Bantam Classic edition also includes “Little Eyolf,” a brilliantly consrtucted psychological study of paternal responsibility and the impact of a child’s death on a man torn between two women.
