Peer Gynt
A Dramatic Poem
Translated by William and Charles Archer (1907)
Peer Gynt, a boastful young peasant, steals a bride, flees into the mountains and the hall of the Troll King, and goes out into the world: a rich trader in Morocco, a prophet among the Bedouin, an emperor in a Cairo madhouse. Returning old and empty-handed, he meets the Button-Moulder, who has come to melt him down, and the faithful Solveig, who has waited.
