    About this ebook

    When We Dead Awaken is a play by Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen. The play's central theme is the meaning of life and confused expectations. The protagonist is a professor and famed sculptor, Arnold Rubek, who reunites with his former muse, Irene von Satow, on the setting of the Norwegian spa during the wintertime. They both have to reassess the choices they made in their life.

    Henrik Ibsen

    Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) was a Norwegian playwright who thrived during the late nineteenth century. He began his professional career at age 15 as a pharmacist’s apprentice. He would spend his free time writing plays, publishing his first work Catilina in 1850, followed by The Burial Mound that same year. He eventually earned a position as a theatre director and began producing his own material. Ibsen’s prolific catalogue is noted for depicting modern and real topics. His major titles include Brand, Peer Gynt and Hedda Gabler.
