Peer Gynt. By Henrik Ibsen. Illustrated by Per Krohg. Collector’s Edition. Easton Press. Norwalk, 1985.

Henrik Ibsen was a prolific Norwegian playwright in the nineteenth century. His plays are widely considered some of the best ever written. They are performed more frequently than any other plays from the period. His most famous works include Peer Gynt, A Doll’s House, Hedda Gabler, and many others. Aside from Shakespeare, there is no more influential dramatist than Henrik Ibsen. This collector’s edition by the Easton Press recognizes his genius and delivers his most famous work: Peer Gynt. It is a mythical tale about the distant journeys of its titular character. The work was ambitious as a theatrical production but proved hugely popular and consequential in the late nineteenth century. Critics regularly describe it as Ibsen’s masterpiece.
