Tentang eBook ini
In 'Ghosts,' Henrik Ibsen constructs a family drama steeped in the challenges of morality, the specter of syphilis, and the haunting consequences of societal roles. Ibsen's prose marries realism with symbolism, creating a poignant narrative that reveals the corrosive effects of secrets and lies on familial bonds. As part of Ibsen's broader commentary on the morality of 19th-century Norwegian society, this work fits within the literary tradition of naturalism, laying bare the inner workings of its characters' psyches with unflinching honesty. This edition by DigiCat Publishing faithfully adheres to the essence of Ibsen's vision, ensuring new generations access to this timeless classic. Henrik Ibsen, often hailed as the father of modern drama, was no stranger to controversy when 'Ghosts' was first published in 1881. Infamous for challenging the status quo, Ibsen delved deeply into the hypocrisy of his society's morality and family values. Drawing from his own keen observations and progressive ideals, Ibsen's works were groundbreaking for their candid exploration of taboo and uncomfortable subjects, shaking the very foundations of conventional theater. DigiCat's edition of 'Ghosts' presents an excellent opportunity for both scholars and casual readers to revisit or discover Ibsen's groundbreaking work. This admirably reproduced text invites engagement with Ibsen's biting critique of societal norms and the complexities of human behavior. It is a vital inclusion in any literary collection and serves as a portal into understanding the broader cultural and historical discussions of its time, making it ideal for those who appreciate the classic literature that continues to resonate across the ages.
Tentang pengarang
Henrik Ibsen, a seminal figure in modern drama and widely regarded as the father of realism in theater, was born on March 20, 1828, in Skien, Norway. His works, which often stirred controversy for their candid portrayals of societal issues, left an indelible mark on nineteenth-century literature. Ibsen began his career as a playwright at the Norwegian Theatre in Bergen, where he was employed as a writer and manager. He later moved to the more influential environment of European culture, where he continued to hone his craft. Ibsen's plays, characterized by their sharp social criticism and psychological depth, shattered the conventions of the day and introduced a new level of moral inquiry to the stage. 'Ghosts' (original title 'Gengangere'), written in 1881, is among his most famous works and serves as a powerful example of his literary approach. The play delves into the themes of familial duty, inherited sins, and social hypocrisy, and remains a staple of modern theater. His candid treatment of these topics often brought public backlash, yet secured his legacy as an innovator who profoundly influenced the evolution of drama and theatrical performance. Ibsen's writing style sought to reflect the realities of human existence, making his body of work timeless and continually pertinent. His other major plays include 'A Doll's House', 'Hedda Gabler', and 'The Master Builder'. Ibsen died on May 23, 1906, but his contributions to literature persist, resonating with audiences who seek insight into the human condition.
