Publisher's Synopsis

Little Eyolf; John Gabriel Borkman; When We Dead Awaken is a collection of three plays by Henrik Ibsen, originally published in 1907. The first play, Little Eyolf, is a tragedy that explores the complex relationships between a married couple, their disabled son, and a family friend. The play delves into themes of guilt, responsibility, and the search for meaning in life.The second play, John Gabriel Borkman, is a drama that centers around the titular character, a former banker who has been imprisoned for embezzlement. The play examines the consequences of Borkman's actions on his family and those around him, and raises questions about the nature of power and ambition.The final play in the collection, When We Dead Awaken, is a symbolic drama that explores themes of art, mortality, and the search for spiritual fulfillment. The play follows the journey of a sculptor who is haunted by his past and struggles to find meaning in his work and relationships.Overall, Little Eyolf; John Gabriel Borkman; When We Dead Awaken showcases Ibsen's masterful exploration of complex human emotions and relationships, and his ability to use drama to raise profound questions about the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
