Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vikings at Helgeland, Vol. 2: The Pretenders Ibsen himself has told us, in his preface to the second edition of The Feast at Solhoug, how the reading of the Icelandic family-sagas suggested to him, in germ, the theme of The Vikings at Helgeland. What he first saw, he says, was the contrasted figures of the two women who ultimately became Hiordis and Dagny, together with a great banquet-scene at which an interchange of taunts and gibes should lead to tragic consequences. The conception of the two women's characters was certainly not new to him, seeing that a similar contrast presents itself in his very earliest work, Catilina, between the aptly-named Furia and the gentle Aurelia; while even in Lady Inger of strat it reappears, somewhat disguised, in the contrast between Inger Gyldenl ve and her daughter Elina. While the scheme of The Vikings was still entirely vague, however, fresh influences, both of a personal and of a literary nature, intervened, and, transposing the theme from the purely dramatic into the lyrical key, he produced The Feast at Solhoug. The foster-sisters, Hiordis and Dagny, became the sisters Margit and Signe, and the banquet, instead of being the culminating-point of the dramatic action, became its mere background.

This book was released on 2021-12-31 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ORNULF. That am I, and straightway shall the quarrel be healed. (To the others.) Be the matter, then, known to all. Five winters ago came Sigurd and Gunnar Headman as vikings to Iceland; they lay in harbour close under my homestead. Then Gunnar, by force and craft, carried away my foster-daughter, Hiordis; but thou, Sigurd, didst take Dagny, my own child, and sailed with her over the sea. For that thou art now doomed to pay three hundred pieces of silver, and thereby shall thy misdeed be atoned. ACT FIRST. 오르눌프(ORNULF). 그것이 바로 나이며 다툼이 즉시 치유될 것입니다. (다른 사람들에게.) 그렇다면 모든 사람에게 알려진 문제가 되십시오. 5년 전 겨울에 Sigurd와 Gunnar Headman이 바이킹으로 아이슬란드에 왔습니다. 그들은 내 농가 아래 항구 근처에 누워있었습니다. 그런 다음 Gunnar는 무력과 기술로 내 양녀 Hiordis를 데려갔습니다. 그러나 Sigurd, 당신은 내 아이 Dagny를 데리고 바다를 건너 그녀와 함께 항해했습니다. 이는 이제 네가 은 삼백 닢을 지불해야 하므로 네 잘못이 속죄될 것이기 때문입니다. 제1장. HIORDIS (holding her back). Because I jest! Nay, hear me to the end! Think, Dagny, what it is to sit by the window in the eventide and hear the kelpie wailing in the boat-house; to sit waiting and listening for the dead men's ride to Valhal; for their way lies past us here in the north. They are the brave men that fell in fight, the strong women that did not drag out their lives tamely, like thee and me; they sweep through the storm-night on their black horses, with jangling bells! (Embraces DAGNY, and presses her wildly in her arms.) Ha, Dagny! think of riding the last ride on so rare a steed! Act Second. 히오디스(HIORDIS). (뒤를 잡고). 농담이니까! 아니, 내 말을 끝까지 들어보시오! 대그니, 저물어가는 창가에 앉아 켈피가 보트 하우스에서 울부짖는 소리를 듣는 것이 무엇인지 생각해 보십시오. 발할(Valhal)까지 죽은 사람들이 타는 것을 기다리며 듣기 위해; 그들의 길이 우리를 지나 여기 북쪽에 있기 때문입니다. 그들은 싸움에 굴복한 용감한 남자들, 나처럼 순순히 목숨을 끌지 못한 강인한 여자들입니다. 그들은 삑삑 소리와 함께 검은 말을 타고 폭풍우의 밤을 휩쓸었습니다! (DAGNY를 껴안고 그녀의 팔로 그녀를 거칠게 누른다.) 하, 대그니! 그렇게 희귀한 말을 마지막으로 타는 것을 생각해 보십시오! 제2장. HIORDIS. Then must I find another avenger; Sigurd shall not live long to flout at me and thee! (Clenching her hands in convulsive rage.) With her—that simpleton—with her mayhap he is even now sitting alone, dallying, and laughing at us; speaking of the bitter wrong that was done me when in thy stead he bore me away; telling how he laughed over his guile as he stood in my dark bower, and I knew him not! Act Third. 히오디스(HIORDIS). 그러면 다른 복수자를 찾아야 합니다. Sigurd는 나와 저를 조롱하기 위해 오래 살지 못할 것입니다! (격렬한 분노로 그녀의 손을 꽉 쥐었다.) 그녀와 함께 - 그 바보 - 그녀와 함께 그는 아마도 지금도 혼자 앉아, 장난을 치며 우리를 비웃고 있을 것입니다. 당신을 대신하여 그가 나를 버렸을 때 나에게 행한 쓰라린 잘못에 대해 말하면서; 그가 내 어두운 방에 서 있을 때 그의 간계에 대해 어떻게 웃었는지 이야기하고, 나는 그를 알지 못했습니다! 제3장. SIGURD. Yet ever the more must Sigurd dream of her; but of that wist no man. Now it befell one evening that there was a drinking-feast; and then swore that proud woman that no man should possess her save he who wrought a mighty deed, which she named. High beat Sigurd's heart for joy; for he felt within him the strength to do that deed; but Gunnar took him apart and told him of his love;—Sigurd said naught of his, but went to the—— Act Third. 시구르드(SIGURD). 그러나 Sigurd는 그녀의 꿈을 더욱 더 많이 꿈꿔야 합니다. 그러나 그런 마음은 아무도 없습니다. 이제 어느 날 저녁에는 술자리가 있었습니다. 그리고 나서 그 교만한 여자에게 큰 일을 한 사람 외에는 아무도 그녀를 소유하지 말라고 맹세했습니다. 기쁨에 대한 높은 비트 Sigurd의 마음; 그는 그 일을 할 수 있는 힘을 그 안에 느꼈기 때문입니다. 그러나 Gunnar는 그를 떼어내어 그의 사랑에 대해 이야기했습니다.—Sigurd는 그에 대해 아무 말도 하지 않고—— 제3장. HIORDIS. And for such a cause wilt thou lay a burden on thy life! To what end hast thou strength and might, and therewith all noble gifts of the mind? And deemest thou it can now beseem me to dwell beneath Gunnar's roof? Nay, Sigurd, trust me, there are many tasks awaiting such a man as thou. Erik is king of Norway—do thou rise against him! Many goodly warriors will join thee and swear thee fealty; with unconquerable might will we press onward, and fight and toil unresting until thou art seated on the throne of Harfager! 히오디스(HIORDIS). 그리고 그러한 이유로 당신은 당신의 삶에 무거운 짐을 지울 것입니다! 당신은 어떤 목적을 위해 힘과 능력을 가지고 있으며 마음의 모든 고귀한 선물을 가지고 있습니까? 그리고 이제 내가 군나르의 지붕 아래 사는 것으로 간주할 수 있다고 생각하십니까? 아니, Sigurd, 나를 믿으십시오. 당신과 같은 사람을 기다리는 많은 작업이 있습니다. Erik은 노르웨이의 왕입니다. 그를 대적하시겠습니까! 많은 훌륭한 전사들이 합류하여 충성을 맹세할 것입니다. 당신이 Harfager의 왕좌에 앉을 때까지 우리는 정복할 수 없는 힘으로 계속 전진하고 불안에 떨고 싸울 것입니다! HIORDIS. What care I! A better husband shall I follow home this night! Ay, Sigurd, so must it be; here on this earth is no happiness for me. The White God is coming northward; him will I not meet; the old gods are strong no longer;—they sleep, they sit half shadow- high;—with them will we strive! Out of this life, Sigurd; I will enthrone thee king in heaven, and I will sit at thy side. (The storm bursts wildly.) Hark, hark, here comes our company! Canst see the black steeds galloping?—one is for me and one for thee. (Draws the arrow to her ear and shoots.) Away, then, on thy last ride home! Act Fourth. 히오디스(HIORDIS). 내가 무슨 상관이야! 더 나은 남편이 오늘 밤에 집에 따라갈 것입니다! Ay, Sigurd, 그래야 합니다. 이 땅에서 나에게 행복은 없습니다. 백색 신이 북쪽으로 오고 있다; 나는 그를 만나지 않을 것이다. 고대 신들은 더 이상 강하지 않습니다.—그들은 잠을 자고, 반 그림자 높이에 앉아 있습니다.—우리는 그들과 함께 투쟁할 것입니다! 이 삶에서 벗어나, Sigurd; 내가 하늘에 왕을 앉히고 네 옆에 앉으리라. (폭풍이 거세게 분다.) 하크, 하크, 여기 우리 회사가 온다! 검은 말들이 질주하는 것이 보이지 않습니까?—하나는 나를 위한 것이고 다른 하나는 나를 위한 것입니다. (화살을 그녀의 귀에 대고 쏜다.) 자, 이제 마지막으로 집에 갈 때! 제4장. -목차(Index)- 프롤로그(Prologue). 테마여행신문 TTN Korea 영어고전(English Classics) 999선을 읽어야 하는 7가지 이유 조명화 편집장의 17가지 키워드로 읽는 헨릭 입센(Henrik Ibsen) 01. 사실주의의 아버지(the Father of Realism) 02. 헨릭 입센이 고향 노르웨이를 떠나, 28년간 돌아오지 않은 이유는? 03. 노르웨이에서 헨릭 입센을 만나는 5가지 방법 04. 해럴드 블룸(Harold Bloom)作 서구문학정전(The Western Canon)(1994) 05. 인형의 집 자필 원고(Henrik Ibsen : A Doll’s House) 세계기록유산(UNESCO Memory-of-the-World Program)(2001) 06. 헨릭 입센 서거 100주년(2006) 07. 인형의 집(A Doll's House, Et dukkehjem)(1879) 07-1. 인형의 집(A Doll's House)은 페미니즘?! 07-2. 인형의 집(A Doll's House)은 세계에서 가장 속편이 많은 희곡?! 07-3. 세계에서 가장 많이 공연된 작품(the world's most performed play)(2006) 07-4. 마오쩌둥(毛澤東, 모택동)의 4번째 아내 장칭(江青)은 인형의 집 연극배우?! 08. 유령(Ghosts, Gengangere)(1881) 09. 민중의 적(An Enemy of the People, En folkefiende)(1882) 10. 바다에서 온 여인(The Lady from the Sea, Fruen fra havet)(1888) 11. 헤다 가블레르(Hedda Gabler)(1890) 12. 오디오북(Audio Books)으로 듣는 헨릭 입센(Henrik Ibsen) 13. 헨릭 입센(Henrik Ibsen) 어록(Quotes)(83) 헨릭 입센의 헬겔란트의 바이킹(The Vikings of Helgeland: The Prose Dramas Of Henrik Ibsen, Vol. III.)(1858) Characters THE VIKINGS OF HELGELAND.

This book was released on 2024-03-31 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Vikings of Helgeland" is a dramatic play by Henrik Ibsen that explores themes of honor, revenge, and the clash between pagan and Christian values in medieval Norway. Set in the rugged landscape of Helgeland, the play follows the intertwined fates of two rival families, the Hærmansons and the Örnulfsons, as they vie for power and supremacy. At the center of the drama is the character of Gunnar Hærmanson, a fierce and ambitious Viking chieftain who seeks to avenge his father's death by defeating the rival Örnulfson clan. However, Gunnar's quest for revenge is complicated by his love for Dagny, the daughter of his sworn enemy, and by the changing moral landscape of a society transitioning from pagan traditions to Christian values. Through its vivid characters, stirring dialogue, and dramatic plot twists, "The Vikings of Helgeland" offers a compelling portrait of a society in transition, torn between the old ways of honor and warfare and the emerging ethos of forgiveness and redemption. Ibsen's exploration of timeless themes such as the nature of power, the consequences of violence, and the possibility of redemption resonates with audiences across cultures and generations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Somehow I woke up one day and found myself in bed with a stranger." Meant literally or figuratively, this statement describes one of the best-known plots in world mythology and popular storytelling. In a tour that runs from Shakespeare to Hollywood and from Abraham Lincoln to Casanova, the erudite and irrepressible Wendy Doniger shows us the variety, danger, and allure of the "bedtrick," or what it means to wake up with a stranger. The Bedtrick brings together hundreds of stories from all over the world, from the earliest recorded Hindu and Hebrew texts to the latest item in the Weekly World News, to show the hilariously convoluted sexual scrapes that people manage to get themselves into and out of. Here you will find wives who accidentally commit adultery with their own husbands. You will read Lincoln's truly terrible poem about a bedtrick. You will learn that in Hong Kong the film The Crying Game was retitled Oh No! My Girlfriend Has a Penis. And that President Clinton was not the first man to be identified by an idiosyncratic organ. At the bottom of these wonderful stories, ancient myths, and historical anecdotes lie the dynamics of sex and gender, power and identity. Why can't people tell the difference in the dark? Can love always tell the difference between one lover and another? And what kind of truth does sex tell? Funny, sexy, and engaging, The Bedtrick is a masterful work of energetic storytelling and dazzling scholarship. Give it to your spouse and your lover.

Download or read book The Woman Who Pretended to Be Who She Was written by Wendy Doniger and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-11-18 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many cultures have myths about self-imitation, stories about people who pretend to be someone else pretending to be them, in effect masquerading as themselves. This great theme, in literature and in life, tells us that people put on masks to discover who they really are under the masks they usually wear, so that the mask reveals rather than conceals the self beneath the self. In this book, noted scholar of Hinduism and mythology Wendy Doniger offers a cross-cultural exploration of the theme of self-impersonation, whose widespread occurrence argues for both its literary power and its human value. The stories she considers range from ancient Indian literature through medieval European courtly literature and Shakespeare to Hollywood and Bollywood. They illuminate a basic human way of negotiating reality, illusion, identity, and authenticity, not to mention memory, amnesia, and the process of aging. Many of them involve marriage and adultery, for tales of sexual betrayal cut to the heart of the crisis of identity. These stories are extreme examples of what we common folk do, unconsciously, every day. Few of us actually put on masks that replicate our faces, but it is not uncommon for us to become travesties of ourselves, particularly as we age and change. We often slip carelessly across the permeable boundary between the un-self-conscious self-indulgence of our most idiosyncratic mannerisms and the conscious attempt to give the people who know us, personally or publicly, the version of ourselves that they expect. Myths of self-imitation open up for us the possibility of multiple selves and the infinite regress of self-discovery. Drawing on a dizzying array of tales-some fact, some fiction-The Woman Who Pretended to Be Who She Was is a fascinating and learned trip through centuries of culture, guided by a scholar of incomparable wit and erudition.
