Rich in symbolism and often autobiographical, each of these dramas deals convincingly and provocatively with such universal themes as greed, fear, and sexual hostility, and confronts the eternal conflict between reality and illusion. These Rolf Fjelde translations have been widely acclaimed as the definitive versions of the major works of the father of modern theater. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eTranslated and with a Foreword by Rolf Fjelde\u003cbr\u003eAnd an Afterword by Joan Templeton\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHenrik Ibsen\u003c\/b\u003e (1828-1906) is one of the greatest dramatists of world literature.
