Aunque comenzó su carrera de dramaturgo bajo el signo del romanticismo, Henrik Ibsen (Noruega, 1828-1906) fue el encargado de llevar a la perfección el drama moderno realista con las obras maestras "Una casa de muñecas" y "Un enemigo del pueblo". Estrenadas respectivamente en 1879 y 1882, pronto se difundieron por toda Europa y América y convirtieron a su autor en referente indiscutido del teatro mundial. Ibsen construye en ambas obras dos magníficos dramas en los que expone un conflicto entre el individuo y la sociedad. Este conflicto está formulado en forma de tesis, pero esta dista de ser simple o mecánica: Nora cerrará la acción con la instauración de un dilema para los espectadores y el Dr. Stockman, por su parte, aunque defiende una causa justa se revelará como un villano. La presente edición introduce una nueva traducción, directa del noruego, realizada por la especialista Clelia Chamatrópulos.

Las tres obras que contiene el presente volumen son exponentes de etapas bien diferenciadas de la producción de Henrik Ibsen (Noruega, 1828-1906). En efecto, si Peer Gynt insinúa un cambio de rumbo con respecto al romanticismo, es todavía en algún sentido deudor de éste; en cambio, El pato salvaje pertenece al momento en el cual el autor lleva a la perfección su concepción del drama moderno realista. Finalmente, Hedda Gabler es un ejemplo de la ampliación y una complejización de la poética del drama moderno hacia nuevos horizontes que incluyen procedimientos del simbolismo y el expresionismo. Estas tres obras representan así una acabada muestra del talento de Henrik Ibsen, quien influyera decisivamente en todas las formas teatrales del siglo XX, desde Arthur Miller, Jean-Paul Sartre y Samuel Beckett hasta Antonio Buero y Roberto Cossa. La traducción directa del noruego ha sido realizada por Rosamaría Paasche, especialista en literaturas nórdicas.

Considerada por Ibsen como su obra maestra, Emperador y Galileo narra la vida de Juliano el Apóstata, el emperador que volvió al paganismo. La formación filosófica, el ascenso al poder, y sobre todo el desgarrador drama interior de Juliano, atrapado entre el escandalo de la cruz y su pretension de recuperar la gloria pagana, son tratadas desde la agudeza de la mirada de este dramaturgo universal. Un drama que sigue presente en la vida de cada hombre.

Hedda Gabler, d'entrada, té tots els components de la perfecta comèdia de saló del segle XIX: la mansió elegant; l'erudit afable que descuida la dona; aquesta que no veu acomplits els seus somnis; la tia bondadosa però antiquada; el jutge de conducta rectíssima; l'intel·lectual rebel... i, fins i tot, la criada típica. Mal-grat les aparences, la comunicació de la parella amb la tia del marit, un amic de la família, un antic amant de Hedda i la nova amiga d'aquest desemboca en unes conseqüències tan sorprenents com dramàtiques.
