This volume brings together two of the most important works by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen: 'A Doll's House' and 'Hedda Gabler'. In 'A Doll's House', Ibsen explores the oppression of women in marriage and society, through the story of Nora, who decides to leave her husband and children in search of her own identity. 'Hedda Gabler', on the other hand, presents a complex and tormented woman, trapped in an unhappy marriage and in a society that offers her no options. Both works are a reflection of the problems of the contemporary world and have been the subject of controversy and debate since their publication.
Henrik Johan Ibsen was a Norwegian playwright. He is considered one of the world's pre-eminent writers of the 19th century and is often referred to as "the father of modern drama". He pioneered theatrical realism but also wrote lyrical epic works. His major works include Brand, Peer Gynt, Emperor and Galilean, A Doll's House, Ghosts, An Enemy of the People, The Wild Duck, Rosmersholm, Hedda Gabler, The Master Builder, and When We Dead Awaken. In 2014 Ibsen was considered the most frequently performed dramatist in the world after Shakespeare. Store norske leksikon describes him as "the center of the Norwegian literary canon".
