Books by Henrik Ibsen

Portrait of Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen, often hailed as the father of modern drama, transformed nineteenth‑century theatre with his bold realism and psychological insight. His plays challenged social conventions, dissecting issues of morality, gender, and individual freedom through sharply drawn characters and meticulous structure. Readers and theatre‑goers alike continue to find his work startlingly contemporary, as it confronts the conflicts between duty and desire that remain universal.

From the tension of domestic life in *A Doll's House* to the moral dilemmas of *An Enemy of the People*, Ibsen's writing exposes the hidden truths beneath everyday respectability. His influence resonates through generations of playwrights and novelists who followed, each indebted to his fearless exploration of human motivation and the cost of integrity.

Richard Eyre's adaptation of Ibsen's Hedda Gabler was premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London, in 2005. Included in this volume is an introduction to the play by Richard Eyre.Trade Review'A triumph... Eyre's dialogue is forceful, clear, with just enough idiomatic dash' * Observer *'Hedda is often regarded as the female Hamlet. But Eyre reminds us that it is a great polyphonic play as well as a commanding title-role' * Guardian *'Hedda Gabler still has the power to shock' * Independent on Sunday *'Thrilling... re-administers, as if for the first time, the devastating shock and the sheer affront of Ibsen's drama' * Independent *

    Book SynopsisPublicada en 1882, " Un enemigo del pueblo " no hace más que refrendar la actualidad de Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906), uno de los fundadores indiscutibles del teatro moderno. Autor de sólidas convicciones éticas, rebelde al corsé de las tradiciones, las convenciones y las imposiciones sociales, ?políticamente incorrecto? en su día igual que hoy, la obra toca el delicado punto de la auténtica representatividad de la democracia, sujeta en el mundo real a las presiones de los intereses políticos y económicos y de los variados instrumentos de que se sirven para perpetuar un poder que puede mudar su apariencia, pero que es siempre el mismo.Prólogo de Juan Antonio Garrido Ardila

    Book SynopsisHenrik Ibsen (1828-1906) nació en Noruega, en un medio en el que imperaba una moral estrecha de miras, una vigencia desesperante de la superstición y del miedo. Todo a su alrededor era considerado pecado, todo merecía un reproche, una advertencia sobre el posible mal que podría acarrear cualquier acción que se emprendiera. Por eso sus personajes no se contentan con vivir la vida cotidiana, necesitan un proyecto que realizar aunque éste sobrepase sus fuerzas y les haga sentirse solos, incomprendidos e incluso derrotados, pero orgullosos por haberse aventurado a conseguirlo. En Casa de muñecas y El pato salvaje plantea Ibsen la tragedia de la mentira vital. Nora Helmer, en Casa de muñecas, es una joven que ha sido educada para llevar una venda en los ojos y servir de juguete primero a su padre y luego a su marido. Cuando la venda cae, Nora comienza a ser alguien. Gregorio Werle, en El pato salvaje, concibe un proyecto para poner al descubierto a unos seres hipócritas, egoístas e indignos
