Download or read book Henrik Ibsen written by Ivo de Figueiredo and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 721 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Ibsen Scandinavia and the Making of a World Drama written by Narve Fulsås and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book The Quintessence of Ibsenism written by Bernard Shaw and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-13 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preface 1913IN the pages which follow I have made no attempt to tamper with the work of the bygone man of thirty-five who wrote them. I have never admitted the right of an elderly author to alter the work of a young author, even when the young author happens to be his former self. In the case of a work which is a mere exhibition of skill in conventional art, there may be some excuse for the delusion that the longer the artist works on it the nearer he will bring it to perfection. Yet even the victims of this delusion must see that there is an age limit to the process, and that though a man of forty-five may improve the workmanship of a man of thirty-five, it does not follow that a man of fifty-five can do the same, When we come to creative art, to the living word of a man delivering a message to his own time, it is clear that any attempt to alter this later on is simply fraud and forgery. As I read the old Quintessence of Ibsenism I may find things that I see now at a different angle, or correlate with so many things then unnoted by me that they take on a different aspect. But though this may be a reason for writing another book, it is no a reason for altering an existing one. What I have written I have written, said Pilate, thinking (rightly, as it turned out) that his blunder might prove truer than its revision by the elders; and what he said after a lapse of twenty-one seconds I may very well say after a lapse of twenty-one years. However, I should not hesitate to criticize my earlier work if I thought it likely to do any mischief that criticism can avert...--Bernard Shaw
