Description: Halvard Solness, a leading local architect, is at the end of his career. A single-minded man of angry pride, trapped in a frozen marriage to Aline, he is terrified of being eclipsed by the younger generation snapping at his heels. A decade after their first meeting, the charismatic young Hilde Wangel comes back into his life and inspires him to even greater heights. But as he embarks on his latest towering achievement, the pressure threatens not to renew him, but to destroy him instead.
Notes: Translated from the Norwegian.
