In \u003ci\u003eGhosts\u003c\/i\u003e, Osvald Alving returns home only to discover the truth about the father he always looked up to, and learns the horrific effect his father's debauchery has had on him. It was Ibsen's most provocative drama,  stripping away the surface of a middle-class family to expose layers of hypocrisy and immorality. \u003ci\u003eA Public Enemy\u003c\/i\u003e sets two brothers against each other when one wishes to make public the facts about the polluted water in the public baths of their home town. And \u003ci\u003eWhen We Dead Wake\u003c\/i\u003e tells of an artist meeting an old lover by chance and rejecting his wife, in a symbolic exploration of Ibsen's own literary life and the sacrifices he made in his work.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48128393117854,"sku":"UBD-9780140441352","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780140441352.jpg?v=1786540139","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780140441352","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
