The Master Builder / Bygmester Solness: Norwegian-English Parallel Text / New Revised Translation + 5 Essays [from The Quintessence of Ibsenism ... Problems / Henrik Ibsen: A Critical Study)]

0/5 ( ratings)

First performed in 1892, this psychological drama is one of the great Norwegian playwright's most symbolic and lyrical works. The drama explores the insecurities of an aging architect, Halvard Solness, who suspects that his creative powers have diminished with age. Solness finds strength of purpose in his involvement with Hilde— his muse, inspiration, and ardent believer in his greatness — but their association leads to a conflict between heroic myth and complicated reality.
