Böcker av Henrik Ibsen

Excerpt from On the Heights (Paa Vidderne): A Tragedy in Lyrical Ballads Be not unto us a joy forever; symbols rather of European fames distinctly incomprehensible and as we might honor the mummy of Rameses, or inspect a brass idol in a Joss-house, so we stare at these foreign glories and chuckle superiorly as we think of the verse that sells!

Bis heute eine Ikone: Henrik Ibsen, der wortgewaltige Dramatiker, der gegen die Moral und Lebenslüge seiner Zeit wetterte. Was tut man, wenn man als erwachsener Mann einer Zwölfjährigen einen Kuss auf die Wange drückt und ihr verspricht, in zehn Jahren mit einem Schloss für sie aufzuwarten? Für Baumeister Solneß ein echtes Problem, denn nach zehn Jahren steht die junge Dame vor ihm und erkundigt sich nach dem versprochenen Schloss... In Gespenster zeichnet Ibsen den Untergang einer ganzen Familie auf, um die dramatisch rückständige Gesellschaftsordnung seiner Tage anzuprangern. Gröls-Verlag (Edition Werke der Weltliteratur)

Performed for the first time in 1891, "Hedda Gabler" is one of Henrik Ibsen's greatest dramas. It is the story of its title character, Hedda, a self-centered and manipulative woman who has grown bored of her new marriage to the kind and reliable George. Hedda was born to a life of luxury and privilege and marries a man she does not love to avoid becoming a spinster. After returning from her honeymoon, Hedda discovers that her marriage will not be the life of wealth and excitement she was accustomed to and that George will never be the ambitious and successful man she wishes him to be. To escape her boredom, she begins to meddle in the lives of George's academic rival, Eilert, who is Hedda's former paramour, and Eilert's unsuspecting wife, Thea. Hedda fears that Eilert and his professional success may stand in the way of George's future in academia and Hedda takes it upon herself to sabotage her husband's rival, leading to truly tragic consequences for everyone involved. Marked by one of the most dramatic female roles in all of theater, "Hedda Gabler" stands as an enduring masterpiece by Norway's most famous playwright, Henrik Ibsen. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, follows the translation of Edmund Gosse and William Archer, with an introduction by William Archer.

Collected together here is a selection of six plays by Norway's most famous playwright, arguably one the greatest playwrights of all-time, Henrik Ibsen. In the first play of the volume, "Pillars of Society", Ibsen relates the story of Karsten Bernick, whose ambitious plan to connect his small coastal town by railway is jeopardized when his past comes back to haunt him. In the second play, "A Doll's House", we have the story of Nora Helmer, who has secretly borrowed a large sum of money to help her husband recover from a serious illness, by forging her father's signature, and the turmoil that it causes in her life and marriage. The third play, "Ghosts", is an intense psychological drama concerning Helen Alving, a wealthy widow, and her son Oswald, who suffers the tragic consequences of his late father's infidelity. In the fourth play, "An Enemy of the People", Ibsen explores the animosity that can befall someone whose actions, while in the best interest of the public good, threaten the economic well being of a community. Fifthly there is "Hedda Gabler", the story of a self-centered and manipulative woman who has grown bored of her new marriage to the kind and reliable George. Lastly in "The Master Builder" Ibsen tells the tale of Halvard Solness, a successful small town architect who is encouraged to confront his acrophobia, with tragic consequences.
