Ibsen’s follow-up, \u003ci\u003eGhosts\u003c\/i\u003e, was no less radical, with its unrelenting investigation into religious hypocrisy, family secrets, and sexual double-dealing. These two masterpieces are accompanied here by \u003ci\u003eThe Pillars of Society\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAn Enemy of the People\u003c\/i\u003e, both exploring the tensions and dark compromises at the heart of society.\u003c\/p\u003eHENRIK IBSEN\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e(1828–1906) is often called 'the Father of Modern Drama'.
