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.

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.

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.

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.

''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.

Na příběhu lékaře Stockmanna, který se marně snaží poukázat na závadnost vody v místních lázních, předvádí Ibsen bez obalu všechny nepřístojnosti "demokratické" společnosti - korupci, strach o post a majetek i stádní myšlení a jednání většiny.Osoby a obsazení: MUDr. Tomáš Stockmann, lázeňský lékař (Viktor Preiss), Kateřina Stockmannová, jeho žena (Dana Syslová), Petra, jejich dcera (Lucie Trmíková), Petr Stockmann, doktorův starší bratr (František Němec), Morten Kiil (Jiří Holý), Hovstad, šéfredaktor Lidového posla (Michal Pavlata), Billing, zaměstnanec Lidového posla (Ivan Trojan), Aslaksen, vydavatel (Miloš Hlavica), Horster, kapitán obchodní lodi (Miroslav Etzler), pán (Eduard Pavlíček)) a další.

Audiokniha: Skandální rodinné drama norského autora ve skvělém přetlumočení Františka Fröhlicha. Rodinné drama, které norský dramatik Henrik Ibsen dokončil na podzim roku 1881, bývá označováno za "přelomové dílo" v cestě moderního dramatu. Má rozměr tragédie, je ale psáno všední prózou a pro vyklenutí dramatického oblouku postačí autorovi pouhých pět postav. V době svého vzniku byly ale Přízraky prohlášeny za "otevřenou stoku" a skandál, který vydání hry způsobilo, předstihl Ibsenovo očekávání.Osoby a obsazení: paní Alvingová (Daniela Kolářová), Osvald Alving (Jan Dolanský), pastor Manders (Viktor Preiss), Regina (Tatiana Vilhelmová) a Jakub Engstrand (Oldřich Vlach)Režie: Hana Kofránková

Audiokniha: Svou literární dráhu zahájil Henrik Ibsen nejprve jako básník, ale záhy svou pozornost zaměřil také na divadlo. Dnes je znám především jako dramatik, během padesáti let napsal celkem 26 divadelních her.Do posledního Ibsenova tvůrčího období patří také Paní z moře (1888). Její hlavní hrdinka Elida se sice pohybuje v realistickém společenském prostředí a rodinných vazbách, ale autora mnohem víc zajímají její skryté vášně, nevyřčené touhy a ozvuky skrývané minulosti.

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.

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.

For months, its submarines had brought terror to the North Atlantic.But the Lusitania''s captain, William Thomas Turner, had faith in the gentlemanly terms of warfare that had, for a century, kept civilian ships safe from attack. He also knew that his ship - the fastest then in service - could outrun any threat.

From the creator of Your Fat Friend and co-host of the Maintenance Phase podcast, an explosive indictment of the systemic and cultural bias facing plus-size people.Anti-fatness is everywhere. In What We Don’t Talk About When We Talk About Fat, Aubrey Gordon unearths the cultural attitudes and social systems that have led to people being denied basic needs because they are fat and calls for social justice movements to be inclusive of plus-sized people’s experiences. Unlike the recent wave of memoirs and quasi self-help books that encourage readers to love and accept themselves, Gordon pushes the discussion further towards authentic fat activism, which includes ending legal weight discrimination, giving equal access to health care for large people, increased access to public spaces, and ending anti-fat violence. As she argues, “I did not come to body positivity for self-esteem. I came to it for social justice.”By sharing her experiences as well as those of others—from smaller fat to very fat people—she concludes that to be fat in our society is to be seen as an undeniable failure, unlovable, unforgivable, and morally condemnable. Fatness is an open invitation for others to express disgust, fear, and insidious concern. To be fat is to be ... Unknown localization key: "more"

''The maddest 12 months of my life. The journey starts with an oddball race up an American mountain and ends with me checking myself out of hospital with a broken back. Again …''As Guy’s Latvian grandfather frequently reminded him, ‘When you dead, you dead’. So before it’s all over, Guy Martin is making the most of the time he’s got. In this past year alone, Guy has raced the Isle of Man TT and finished on the podium; bike trekked through India; competed in solo 24-hour bicycles races; flown a stunt plane; broken a go-kart speed record down a French mountain and attempted to break the motorcycle land-speed record at Bonneville Salt Flats. And he’s done all this around his day job as a truck mechanic. But let Guy tell you about it himself: ‘This book starts in a Transit, ends in a Transit, and in between I’ve raced a few pushbikes, raced a few motorbikes and got a fair few stories to tell you.’ Spot on.

What do we think about when we think about football? Football is about so many things: memory, history, place, social class, gender (especially masculinity, but increasingly femininity too), family identity, tribal identity, national identity, the nature of groups. It is essentially collaborative, even socialist, yet it exists in a sump of greed, corruption, capitalism and autocracy.Philosopher Simon Critchley attempts to make sense of it all, and to establish a system of aesthetics - even poetics - to show what is beautiful in the beautiful game. He explores, too, how the experience of watching football opens a particular dimension in time; how its magic wards off oblivion; how its dramas play out national identity and non-identity; how we spectators, watching football with tragic pensiveness, participate in the play. And of course, as a football fan, he writes about his heroes and villains: about Zidane and Cruyff, Clough and Revie, Shankly and Klopp.
