Book Description
An Enemy of the People, a powerful play by Henrik Ibsen, tackles the complexities of truth, morality, and the struggle between individual conviction and societal pressure. Set in a small Norwegian town, the narrative follows Dr. Stockmann, a principled physician who discovers that the local baths, a vital source of income for the community, are contaminated. As he seeks to reveal the truth, he finds himself at odds with the very people he aims to protect. Ibsen's masterful exploration of themes such as integrity, corruption, and the consequences of speaking out against the majority presents a compelling reflection on the human condition. An Enemy of the People delves into the moral dilemmas faced by individuals when confronting public opinion and the fear of ostracism. The tension escalates as Dr. Stockmann's moral stance puts him in direct conflict with his friends, family, and the townspeople, who prioritize economic prosperity over ethical responsibility. This thought-provoking play is a timeless examination of the cost of truth and the challenges faced by those who dare to challenge the status quo. Ibsen's incisive dialogue and rich character development invite readers to engage in a dialogue about civic duty, ethical leadership, and the role of dissent in society. As the story unfolds, the audience is compelled to consider what it means to be an enemy of the people when one stands for what is right. Readers are drawn to An Enemy of the People for its relevance to contemporary social and political issues. This play is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of ethics and politics, as well as the enduring power of individual conviction. Owning a copy of An Enemy of the People is not just about literature; it’s about embracing the courage to speak out and the importance of standing firm in one’s beliefs.

Book Description
A magnificent new biography of Henrik Ibsen, among the greatest of modern playwrights Henrik Ibsen (1820–1908) is arguably the most important playwright of the nineteenth century. Globally he remains the most performed playwright after Shakespeare, and Hedda Gabler, A Doll’s House, Peer Gynt, and Ghosts are all masterpieces of psychological insight. This is the first full-scale biography to take a literary as well as historical approach to the works, life, and times of Ibsen. Ivo de Figueiredo shows how, as a man, Ibsen was drawn toward authoritarianism, was absolute in his judgments over others, and resisted the ideas of equality and human rights that formed the bases of the emerging democracies in Europe. And yet as an artist, he advanced debates about the modern individual’s freedom and responsibility—and cultivated his own image accordingly. Where other biographies try to show how the artist creates the art, this book reveals how, in Ibsen’s case, the art shaped the artist.

Book Description
Henrik Ibsen's drama is the most prominent and lasting contribution of the cultural surge seen in Scandinavian literature in the later nineteenth century. When he made his debut in Norway in 1850, the nation's literary presence was negligible, yet by 1890 Ibsen had become one of Europe's most famous authors. Contrary to the standard narrative of his move from restrictive provincial origins to liberating European exile, Narve Fulsås and Tore Rem show how Ibsen's trajectory was preconditioned on his continued embeddedness in Scandinavian society and culture, and that he experienced great success in his home markets. This volume traces how Ibsen's works first travelled outside Scandinavia and studies the mechanisms of his appropriation in Germany, Britain and France. Engaging with theories of book dissemination and world literature, and re-assessing the emergence of 'peripheral' literary nations, this book provides new perspectives on the work of this major figure of European literature and theatre.
