A Doll's House and Other Plays (Penguin Classics)

Four of Ibsens 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, 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.
