The collected works of Henrik Ibsen, Vol. 04 (of 11)
This fourth volume of the collected works of Henrik Ibsen, edited by William Archer, contains Peer Gynt, the dramatic poem Ibsen wrote in Italy in 1867, in the English translation by William and Charles Archer, with an introduction on its origins. Peer, a boastful, imaginative young Norwegian peasant, abandons Solveig, the woman who loves him, and wanders through a lifetime of adventures: among the trolls of the Dovre King, as a trader and prophet in Morocco and the desert, in a madhouse in Cairo, until he returns home in old age to face the Button-Moulder, who wants to melt down his soul. Mixing folklore, satire and fantasy, it is a searching drama about what it means to be oneself. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first act is free.
