This book contains two plays by Henrik Ibsen. Norma is a satirical opera designed as a dramatic parody of Vincenzo Bellini's opera Norma, in which the characters are portrayed as central figures in the political life of contemporary Norway. St. John's Night is a fairy-tale comedy that takes place during a midsummer feast on a farm in Telemark. It is inspired by many sources, most notably A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare, and features many of the same themes.

The Wild Duck (Vilanden) is a tragedy with comic episodes. Ibsen himself characterized the play as a tragicomedy. It depicts ordinary life realistically instead of romantically and sentimentally, a revolutionary concept in Ibsen's time. The play is now generally acknowledged as one of Ibsen's supreme accomplishments.

Often considered to be Ibsen's most popular play in his lifetime, The League of Youth caused fighting in the streets, with conservatives claiming it was an attack on their party and liberals claiming it was an attack on theirs! A thought-provoking comedy that's sure to feel shockingly familiar. Unusually for Ibsen, this play has a lot of humour and a more-or-less happy ending.

Ein Nussknacker liegt an Weihnachten für Marie auf dem Gabentisch. Mitten in der Nacht erwacht die Holzpuppe zum Leben, denn der Nussknacker hat noch eine alte Rechnung mit dem Mausekönig offen. Ein turbulenter Kampf bricht los. Peter Tschaikowski (1840-1893) war ein russischer Komponist, der seit seinem fünften Lebensjahr Klavier spielte und zunächst in St. Petersburg als Beamter arbeitete. Anton Rubinstein förderte sein Musikstudium und fortan ging Tschaikowskis Musik um die Welt.

Peer Gynt är ett äventyrsdrama, skrivet med stor humor och mycket ironi på fyndig fri vers med ett djärvt folkligt språk. Peer Gynt är ett av Ibsens populäraste verk. Det kombinerar prosans äventyrsberättelse, poesins versspråk och dramats dialog och handling. Dramat är mycket längre än normalt för dramer, men har regelbundet satts upp i förkortad form; första gången 1876 med Griegs senare så välkända musik.

Dr. Stockman is ridiculed and persecuted by the town's politicians and townspeople for telling the truth about the town's polluted public baths. This theme of safety warnings and scientific data being ignored for political and economic gain can still be seen almost daily in today's news.

Ett dockhem är ett av Ibsens mest lästa och uppsatta dramer. Dramat utspelar sig i ett av Köpenhamns välbärgade hem, där den vackra Nora spelar rollen som perfekt hustru och mor. Men allt är inte som det ser ut vid första anblicken. Noras inre föreställningar och förväntningar harmonerar inte med omvärldens realiteter, och hon tvingas att ta upp kampen med livslögnen vid sitt möte med juristen Krogstad, som hotar hennes annars bekymmerslösa tillvaro.

Det er i Vildanden, vi finder det verdensberømte Ibsen-citat: "Tager De livsløgnen fra et gennemsnitsmenneske, så tager De lykken fra ham med det samme." - (Vildanden, 5. akt). Og dette citat angiver hovedtemaet i Vildanden. Fotografen Hjalmar Ekdal lever tilfreds med sin kone Gina, datteren Hedvig og sin gamle far.

En folkefjende er et af Ibsens mest læste og opførte dramaer. Dramaet udspiller sig i en lille norsk kystby, hvor lægen ved det netop opførte kurbad, Dr. Tomas Stockmann, får mistanke om, at badevandet er forurenet. Hans mistanke bliver bekræftet, da analysen af en vandprøve kommer med posten. Badevandet er sygdomsfremkaldende. Dr. Stockmann forventer, på baggrund af sin opdagelse, at blive mødt af hele byens taknemmelighed, men ikke alle er lige begejstrede for lægens afsløring.

Et dukkehjem er et af Ibsens mest læste og opførte dramaer. Dramaet udspiller sig i et af Københavns velhaverhjem, hvor den skønne Nora udfylder rollen som hustru og moder til perfektion. Men ikke alt er, som det umiddelbart ser ud til. Noras indre forestillinger og forventninger harmonerer ikke med omverdenens realiteter, og hun bliver nødsaget til at tage kampen op med livsløgnen ved mødet med juristen Krogstad, der truer hendes ellers bekymringsløse tilværelse.

Rosmersholm is a play surrounding the deep and intense political and cultural change in Norway in the middle of the 1880s, a period during which the traditional ruling class were forced to relinquish their right to impose their ideals on the rest of society. We follow Johannes Rosmer, a pastor who has resigned from his position; Rebecca West, a woman who sees Rosmer's potential and believes she can help him to realize his dream of creating a world of "happy, noble people"; and Headmaster Kroll, Rosmer's former best friend.
