What is The master builder and other plays : with Little Eyolf, John Gabriel Borkman and When we dead awaken about?
**Showing his development from dramas of societal conflict to vivid portrayals of psychological turmoil, Henrik Ibsen's Ghosts and Other Plays is translated with an introduction by Una Ellis-Fermor in Penguin Classics.** The four plays in this volume, written late in Ibsen's career as a dramatist, move away from his earlier preoccupation with people at odds with society to instead explore the inward struggle with their own thoughts, feelings and dreams. The Master Builder depicts a powerful man whose illusions collapse in the face of a young woman's courageous common sense. In Rosmersholm, an idealist is forced to question his beliefs and confront terrible truths about the past, while Little Eyolf portrays a man's self-deception, which brings both tragic repercussions for his family and new hope for their future. And in John Gabriel Borkman, a dying woman returns to reclaim the affections and loyalty of her nephew, resulting in a bitter struggle with her sister. Una Ellis-Fermor's lucid translation does full justice to Ibsen's naturalistic dialogue. In her introduction, she discusses the themes of truth, freedom with responsibility, love and innocence that connect these four works
