****This volume includes The Master Builder , Little Eyolf , John Gabriel Borkman and When We Dead Awaken - Ibsen's last four plays, written when he was an old man and had recently returned to Oslo after decades of self-imposed exile. In The Master Builder, a married, middle-aged architect whose best years are behind him becomes bewitched by a strange young woman who claims to have known him for years. A sudden death in Little Eyolf is the catalyst that drives a couple into a greater understanding of themselves and their flawed marriage.

And in When We Dead Awaken , a sculptor on holiday is reunited with the woman who inspired his greatest art.
