"The Collected Works of Henrik Ibsen, Vol. 05" by Henrik Ibsen is a compilation of plays that feature the historical drama "Emperor and Galilean," which tells the story of Emperor Julian, also known as "Julian the Apostate," and his difficult life. The play explores themes of faith, power, and the conflict between paganism and Christianity in Roman history. It starts with Julian, as a young man, struggling with his identity amidst rival groups in Emperor Constantius’s court on Easter night. As the threat of violence lingers, Julian deals with family and court expectations while grappling with Christian and pagan ideas, which all leads to his eventual rejection of Christianity.
