Four of Ibsen's most important plays in superb modern translations, part of the new Penguin Ibsen series. In these four unforgettably intense plays, Henrik Ibsen explores the complex nature of truth, the tension between freedom and responsibility, and the terrible pull that the past exerts over the present. In The Wild Duck, an idealist destroys a family by exposing the lie behind his friend's marriage. In Rosmersholm, a respectable man is driven to extremes by guilt over his wife's death, while in The Lady from the Sea a woman is caught between her family and the enticement of the wild sea. And in Hedda Gabler, one of Ibsen's most famous and vivid anti-heroines struggles to break free from the conventional life she has created for herself, with tragic results. The new Penguin series of Ibsen's major plays offer the best available editions in English, under the general editorship of Tore Rem. The plays have been freshly translated by the best modern translators and are based on the recently published, definitive Norwegian edition of Ibsen's works.

A Doll''s House/Ghosts/Pillars of the Community/An Enemy of the People''Our home has never been anything other than a play-house. I''ve been your doll-wife here, just as at home I was Daddy''s doll-child''These four plays established Ibsen as the leading figure in the theatre of his day, sending shockwaves throughout Europe and beyond.

With three plays focusing on the family and how it struggles to stay together by telling lies - and exposing them, Henrik Ibsen''s Ghosts and Other Plays is translated with an introduction by Peter Watts in Penguin Classics.In Ghosts, Osvald Alving returns home only to discover the truth about the father he always looked up to, and learns the horrific effect his father''s debauchery has had on him. It was Ibsen''s most provocative drama, stripping away the surface of a middle-class family to expose layers of hypocrisy and immorality. A Public Enemy sets two brothers against each other when one wishes to make public the facts about the polluted water in the public baths of their home town. And When We Dead Wake tells of an artist meeting an old lover by chance and rejecting his wife, in a symbolic exploration of Ibsen''s own literary life and the sacrifices he made in his work.Peter Watts''s translation maintains the colloquial tone of the original dialogue. He has also provided an introduction and notes on the texts.Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) turned to journalism and playwriting instead of pursuing a university career.

''I think I''m a human being before anything else. I don''t care what other people say. I don''t care what people write in books. I need to think for myself.'' Henrik Ibsen''s A Doll''s House premiered in 1879 in Copenhagen, the second in a series of realist plays by Ibsen, and immediately provoked controversy with its apparently feminist message and exposure of the hypocrisy of Victorian middle-class marriage. In Ibsen''s play, Nora Helmer has secretly (and deceptively) borrowed a large sum of money to pay for her husband, Torvald, to recover from illness on a sabbatical in Italy. Torvald''s perception of Nora is of a silly, naive spendthrift, so it is only when the truth begins to emerge, and Torvald appreciates the initiative behind his wife, that unmendable cracks appear in their marriage. This compelling new version of Ibsen''s masterpiece by playwright Simon Stephens premiered at the Young Vic Theatre, London, on 29 June 2012. It was updated with minor changes in 2013.

Henrik Ibsen - Heda Gablerová. Rozhlasová dramatizace z roku 2013. Strhující rozhlasová adaptace Hedy Gablerové s Vilmou Cibulkovou jako fascinující moderní ženou. Když Henrik Ibsen v roce 1890 publikoval Hedu Gablerovou, kritika označila titulní hrdinku za zrůdu. V souvislosti s jejím uvedením v Národním divadle v roce 1911 pak F. X. Šalda o protagonistce napsal, že je to "vtělená ďáblice, pustá a zprahlá vnitřně,přinášející smrt muži, na němž spočinula svým zrakem". Inscenace natočená roku 2000 Českým rozhlasem plně využila možností, které víceznačnost tohoto dramatu nabízí pro zobrazení ženy současnosti. Díky energickému, ale střízlivě civilnímu a psychologicky propracovanému projevu Vilmy Cibulkové v hlavní roli před námi vyvstává portrét inteligentní ženy, která nechce podléhat iluzím, ale ze své náročnosti vůči sobě, světu i svým partnerům učiní past, v níž sama uvízne. Její touha žít "s révovím ve vlasech" neodkazuje ani tak k Nietzscheovu dionýsovskému titanismu jako spíš k radostnému bytí celistvého člověka, nesmrštěnému jen na sociální, profesní či genderové role a funkce. Hrají: Vilma Cibulková, Ivan Trojan,Lukáš Hlavica, Milena Dvorská, Dana Černá, Viktor Preiss, Marie Marešová.

Audiokniha: Přestože Ibsenova hra vznikla před bezmála sty lety, je v mnohém stále překvapivě aktuální. Politické drama Nepřítel lidu napsal Henrik Ibsen v roce 1882 již jako světově známý autor.

A new Penguin edition of Ibsen''s two great verse plays, in masterful versions by one of our greatest living poets, Geoffrey Hill. These two powerful and contrasting verse dramas by Ibsen made his reputation as a playwright. The fantastical adventures of the irrepressible Peer Gynt - poet, idler, procrastinator, seducer - draw on Norwegian folklore to conjure up mountains, kidnappings, shipwrecks and trolls in an exuberant examination of truth and the self; while Brand, an unsparing vision of an idealistic priest who lives by his steely faith, explores free will and sacrifice. This volume brings together the poet Geoffrey Hill''s acclaimed stage version of Brand with a new poetic rendering of Peer Gynt, published for the first time.This Penguin edition includes an interview with Geoffrey Hill about recreating Ibsen in English, an introduction by Janet Garton and editorial materials by Tore Rem.

Too frightened of scandal to become involved with a brilliant writer, Hedda Gabler opts instead for a conventional but loveless marriage. But, when her first love returns with a masterpiece that might threaten her husband''s career, Hedda decides to take drastic and fatal action.Universally condemned in 1890 when it was written, Hedda Gabler has subsequently become one of Ibsen''s most performed and studied plays. Blending comedy and tragedy, Ibsen probes the thwarted aspirations and hidden anxieties of his characters against a backdrop of contemporary social Habits and hypocrisies.This Methuen Drama Student Edition is published with Michael Meyer’s classic translation, and with commentary and notes by Dr. Sophie Duncan.

Written in the aftermath of hostile criticism of Ghosts, Ibsen''s three plays all deal with the moral courage needed to tell the truth. They are peopled not by symbolic figures and abstract concepts, but by complex individuals pitted against, or part of, a society that Ibsen felt was morally abhorrent and claustrophobically provincial.

This edition of one of the Western canon’s most iconic plays brings back into print the pivotal 1890 translation by William Archer. It was this translation that was largely responsible for the huge impact that A Doll’s House had in the English-speaking world, igniting as it did, in the words of one critic, “a firestorm of critical debate and dissent” about marriage and women’s rights. Accompanying the comprehensively annotated text of the play is a substantial introduction that combines critical analysis with biographical and historical context. An extensive series of appendices provides extracts from contemporary adaptations of A Doll’s House; writings by William Archer and Bernard Shaw about the play; reviews of early productions in London, New York, Montreal, and Sydney; contemporary documents relating to Ibsen and feminism; and views of actresses on playing the role of Nora.

''It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.''The Importance of Being Earnest (1895) proclaims that it is ''A Trivial Play for Serious People''. In fact, collected here alongside Lady Windermere''s Fan (1892), Salome (1891, 1894), A Woman of No Importance (1893), and An Ideal Husband (1895), Earnest shows that the questions raised by Wilde''s plays are anything but trivial. Witty and radical, they elegantly challenge Victorian social proprieties, featuring lies, blackmail, illicit desires, seductions, and double lives. This volume, edited by Kate Hext, positions Wilde''s major plays in the context of Wilde''s life, career, and late-Victorian culture.

In The Birds, two cunning Athenians persuade the birds to build the utopian city of ''Much Cuckoo in the Clouds'' in the sky, blockading the Olympian gods and installing themselves as new deities. The Knights is a venomous satire on Cleon, a prominent Athenian demagogue, who vies with a humble sausage-seller for the approval of the people; while The Assembly-Women deals with the battle of the sexes as the women of Athens infiltrate the all-male Assembly in disguise. The lengthy conflict with Sparta is the subject of Peace, inspired by the hope of a settlement in 421 BC, and Wealth reflects on the economic catastrophe that hit Athens after the war.These lively translations by David Barrett and Alan H.

Marrying deft social commentary to a rich, earthy comedy, the three comedies collected in Aristophanes'' The Frogs and Other Plays offers a unique insight into one of the most turbulent periods in Ancient Greek history. This Penguin Classics edition is translated by David Barrett with revisions, an introduction and notes by Shomit Dutta.The master of ancient Greek comic drama, Aristophanes combined slapstick, humour and cheerful vulgarity with acute political observations. In The Frogs, written during the Peloponnesian War, Dionysus descends to the Underworld to bring back a poet who can help Athens in its darkest hour, and stages a great debate to help him decide between the traditional wisdom of Aeschylus and the brilliant modernity of Euripides. The clash of generations and values is also the object of Aristophanes'' satire in Wasps, in which an old-fashioned father and his loose-living son come to blows and end up in court. And in Women at the Thesmophoria, the famous Greek tragedian Euripides, accused of misogyny, persuades a relative to infiltrate an all-women festival to find out whether revenge is being plotted against him.Shomit Dutta''s introduction discusses Aristophanes'' life, the cultural context of his work and conventions of Greek comedy.

Henrik Meinander paints a brisk and bold picture of the history of Finland from integrated part of the Swedish kingdom to autonomous Grand Duchy within the Russian empire, gradually transformed and maturing into a conscious nation, independent state and skilful adapter of modern technology. The main geographical context for his study is the Baltic region, and the author links his analysis to structural developments and turning points in European history. The book blends politics, economy and culture to show how human and natural resources in Finland have been utilized and the impact its cultural heritage and technological innovation have had on its development. In a departure from most conventional approaches, Meinander gives greater emphasis to recent and contemporary events. In other words, he puts Finland into a range of historical contexts in its Baltic and European settings to highlight how both together have formed Finland into what it is at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

Of all the ancient Greek tragedians, Euripides was the most sensitive to the lives of women and other outcasts in Athenian society, and Electra and Other Plays collects five plays demonstrating his talent for bringing to life their plight. This Penguin Classics edition is translated by John Davie with an introduction and notes by Richard Rutherford.Written during a period overshadowed by the fierce struggle for supremacy between Sparta and Euripides'' native Athens, these five plays are haunted by the shadow of war - and in particular its impact on women. In Electra the children of Agamemnon take bloody revenge on their mother for murdering their father after his return from Troy, and Suppliant Women depicts the grieving mothers of those killed in battle.

The epic story of Helsinki--founded by Sweden, refashioned by Russia, forever shaped by the sea.Over 475 years, the Finnish capital has gone from a sleepy fishing village to a thriving Nordic metropolis, globally renowned for its architecture, design and quality of life. This intricate and expansive new history lays bare the perils--and occasional perks--of Helsinki''s position on the Baltic Sea, sandwiched between East and West.In flowing prose and fascinating anecdotes, Henrik Meinander explores all corners of Helsinki''s past, from trade and the Olympics to the colour of everyday life. He narrates the city''s survival through the rise and fall of two empires; its triumph as an independent capital in 1917; and how, since then, it has grown and flourished through language battles, Soviet air raids and Cold War compromises.More than most European capitals, Helsinki has spent centuries at the mercy of geopolitical twists and turns far beyond its control. This book is a timely reminder of how quickly such forces can alter a city''s destiny--yet, ultimately, can be overcome.
