The collected works of Henrik Ibsen, Vol. 11 (of 11)

This volume brings together three of the playwright’s later works, each probing the tangled emotions that arise when personal ideals clash with reality. The texts have been meticulously transcribed, with every minor printer’s slip corrected and clearly marked, while the editor’s introductions give useful background on the original productions and the cultural moments that shaped them. Hyperlinked notes let listeners jump straight to the correction tables, keeping the reading experience smooth and transparent.

In the first play, a grieving couple wrestles with the mysterious disappearance of their beloved child, revealing hidden resentments and the limits of parental love. The second follows a once‑powerful financier whose relentless ambition threatens to unravel the fragile lives of his wife and son. The final drama follows an aging painter who, on the shore of his past, must confront the sacrifices made for art and the people he left behind. Together, the three pieces offer a compelling portrait of longing, regret, and the search for authenticity.
