1906
Henrik Ibsen
1906
Translated by Clant van der Mijll-Piepers J.
A collection of dramatic works written in the late 19th century. The collection includes some of Ibsen's most well-known plays, such as ''A Doll's House,'' ''Ghosts,'' and ''An Enemy of the People,'' which explore complex themes of morality, societal norms, and the human condition. Central characters often struggle with personal dilemmas and the constraints imposed by their environments, reflecting Ibsen's intent to critique societal conventions. At the start of the collection, an introduction delves into the historical and philosophical context of Ibsen's writing, discussing his birth year of 1828 as a pivotal moment between revolution and societal change in Europe. It highlights how the revolutionary movements of the 19th century influenced Ibsen's perspective, shaping his role as a satirist of society. The introductory remarks set the stage for understanding the conflicts within Ibsen's characters, as they grapple with their identities and the moral implications of their choices against the backdrop of shifting cultural landscapes.
