Download or read book Peer Gynt and Brand written by Henrik Ibsen and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2016-06-30 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new Penguin edition of Ibsen's two great verse plays, in masterful versions by one of our greatest living poets, Geoffrey Hill. These two powerful and contrasting verse dramas by Ibsen made his reputation as a playwright. The fantastical adventures of the irrepressible Peer Gynt - poet, idler, procrastinator, seducer - draw on Norwegian folklore to conjure up mountains, kidnappings, shipwrecks and trolls in an exuberant examination of truth and the self; while Brand, an unsparing vision of an idealistic priest who lives by his steely faith, explores free will and sacrifice. This volume brings together the poet Geoffrey Hill's acclaimed stage version of Brand with a new poetic rendering of Peer Gynt, published for the first time. This Penguin edition includes an interview with Geoffrey Hill about recreating Ibsen in English, an introduction by Janet Garton and editorial materials by Tore Rem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peer Gynt is a five-act play in verse by Henrik Ibsen, loosely based on the fairy tale Per Gynt. Written in the Dano-Norwegian language, it is the most widely performed Norwegian play. The book was first published in 1867. In Peer Gynt, Ibsen satirized the weaknesses of the Norwegian people, incorporating them into the character of Peer. Peer is a dreamer, liar, excelent storyteller and an irresponsible person who avoids all problems. He uses and discards women and looks towards the grandiose, the unattainable. Despite of this, one can't help but like and feel sorry for Peer, as it is easy to recognize something of yourself in him. Henrik Johan Ibsen (1828 – 1906) was a major 19th-century Norwegian playwright, theatre director, and poet. He is often referred to as "the father of realism" and is one of the founders of Modernism in theatre. His major works include Brand, Peer Gynt, An Enemy of the People, Emperor and Galilean, A Doll's House, Hedda Gabler, Ghosts, The Wild Duck, Rosmersholm, and The Master Builder.

Book excerpt: Ibsen's last work to use poetry as a medium of dramatic expression, Peer Gynt carries the marks of his later, prose plays. Its literary antecedents include Faust and Hans Christian Andersen, but the play draws on Ibsen's own childhood and character. He wrote that he derived many features of Peer Gynt from "self-dissection," creating a self-centered and irresponsible, but ultimately forgiveable, rogue.

Download or read book Peer Gynt written by Henrik Ibsen and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before writing the plays in prose for which he would be universally acclaimed as the father of modern drama (Hedda Gabler, The Master Builder, etc.), Henrik Ibsen wrote two of the last great verse epics of the nineteenth century, Brand and Peer Gynt. Based in part on the folk traditions of the playwright's native Norway, Peer Gynt remains one of the key challenges - and greatest entertainments - of the international stage. By turns comic, tragic, lyrical and fantastic, Peer Gynt is an allegory of the title character's search for complete fulfillment, from the fjords of Norway to the deserts of Africa and back. Rarely translated in full, or in the verse format of the original, Peer Gynt is here made available in a striking contemporary version which restores the poetry and humor so often lacking in English-language Ibsen.
