When her sister arrives unannounced, she triggers a desperate showdown with the past. Henrik Ibsen's most contemporary play and his penultimate, John Gabriel Borkman is gripping, penetrating and savagely funny.

Poetic, hilarious, human, tragic, redemptive, even a tad melodramatic, lively, quiet -- this play has everything. The translation is brilliant. Reading this book is like attending a brilliant performance: you see and hear the actors, imagine the set and the sounds and the lighting.
