關於這本電子書
In Henrik Ibsen's "An Enemy of the People," the narrative revolves around Dr. Thomas Stockmann, a principled physician who discovers that the waters of the town's famous spa are contaminated. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Norway, Ibsen employs a realist style that masterfully intertwines social critique with dramatic tension. The play challenges the prevailing moral and ethical paradigms of its time, portraying the struggles of individuality against the collective conformity of society, and delving into the complexities of truth, public opinion, and social responsibility. Ibsen, often referred to as the father of modern drama, crafted this work during a period marked by industrialization and political change, which profoundly influenced his perspectives. His commitment to exposing societal hypocrisies and championing the individual's moral struggles is evident in this play. The personal experiences and ethical dilemmas he faced, along with his critical stance against the bourgeois propriety of his era, fueled his exploration of the tensions between self-advocacy and communal pressure. "An Enemy of the People" is an essential read for those interested in the intersections of morality, politics, and individualism. Ibsen's profound insights and enduring relevance make this work a compelling examination of the human spirit, inviting readers to contemplate the precarious balance between truth and social welfare. This timeless drama continues to resonate, urging us to remain vigilant against the consequences of collective apathy.
關於作者
Henrik Ibsen, born on March 20, 1828, in Skien, Norway, was a towering figure in modern theatrical drama, who has been likened to Shakespeare in terms of his impact on literature and culture. Ibsen's work has a strong focus on realistic contemporary issues and ideas that confronted the societal norms of the 19th century. He is often referred to as the 'father of realism' and is one of the founders of Modernism in theatre. His methodical and penetrating exploration of personal and social conflicts was revolutionary, and his plays often deal with issues of morality, social conformity, and the protocols of the middle class. 'An Enemy of the People,' written in 1882, serves as a searing example of Ibsen's talent in exposing the contradictions and imperfections of human society. The play, which deals with the power dynamics in a small Norwegian town and the moral struggles of an individual scientist, is notable for its challenge to the corruption of public authorities and the moral cowardice of the masses. Beyond his well-known social critiques, Ibsen's work is characterized by complex characters, a profound psychological depth, and a keen interest in the plight of women in society. His other masterworks include 'A Doll's House,' 'Hedda Gabler,' and 'The Wild Duck.' Ibsen's contribution to literature and theatre remains influential to this day, and he continues to be revered as a playwright who brought gravity and relevance to drama. He passed away on May 23, 1906, but his legacy endures, inspiring generations of playwrights and artists around the world.
