Henrik Ibsen 
When We Dead Awaken [EPUB ebook] 

‘When We Dead Awaken’ was Henrik Ibsen’s final drama, which was first published in 1899. It is the story of a married couple, Arnold and Maia Rubek who while traveling find themselves romantically drawn to others, in the case of Maia it is Ulfheim, a brutal hunter, who is the object of her desire, for Arnold it is Irene, a beautiful woman from his past. In these desires the two find themselves questioning the choices that they have made in life and whether or not they have ever really lived at all. One of Ibsen’s most despairing plays; in its tragic conclusion it is as if Ibsen is asking if the fulfillment of life’s desires is ever really achievable.
