ghosts a public enemy when we dead wake henrik ibsen

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. Ibsen was one of the earliest writers to dramatise the individual''s alienation from society. Although Ibsen was never fully appreciated during his lifetime, he has since come to be recognised as one of the great dramatists of all time and the ''Father of Modern Drama''.If you enjoyed Ghosts, you might like Ibsen''s A Doll''s House and Other Plays, also available in Penguin Classics.

According to Dr. Stockmann, there may be bacteria in the spa water. The local newspaper's editor makes the decision not to publish a story that questions how the spa treats its water.Dr. Stockmann's father-in-law believes the piece is a sophisticated hoax when it is published. The publication aims to take on the local administration and reveal its corruption.In order to comfort the audience, Dr. Peter Stockmann makes an appearance and offers a statement of his own.

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. They all include new introductions and editorial apparatus by leading scholars. Vol. 1: Peer Gynt and BrandVol. 2: A Doll's House and Other PlaysVol. 3: Hedda Gabler and Other PlaysVol. 4: The Master Builder and Other Plays

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. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

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.

''A mind-expanding tour of what touch means.'' DAVID EAGLEMAN, neuroscientist and author of Incognito and LivewiredWhy is a hugged person a healthier person?Why do high-fiving teams win more matches?How does a shared handshake make you more likely to tell the truth?We rely on touch every day of our lives. It makes us who we are. It helps us connect with those around us. And yet touch between individuals can be fraught with confusion and misunderstanding.In When We Touch, social neuroscientist Professor Michael Banissy blends expert scientific insights with anecdotes from 90s rom coms to office politics to explore the new science of human touch. His groundbreaking new book explains how touch impacts every part of our lives, from why touch is essential for healthy development, to how kissing might help us choose a genetically beneficial mate to how holding hands with a loved one can help us feel less pain.Banissy tackles the nuances of appropriate touch across culture and gender, investigates our ''touch personas'' and why they differ, and offers solutions to the ''touch hunger'' that has become a modern epidemic in our increasingly distanced world.From the most inconsequential to the most salient moments of human contact, When We Touch is a fascinating and entertaining exploration of our most overlooked sense.

The brilliant new novel from the author of The Last Summer of the Water Strider ‘A sharp and very funny portrait of a brash era which is also a surprisingly tender take on flawed masculinity.’ Sarah Hughes, i paper ‘What a terrific novel - wickedly sharp, wildly entertaining - I was gripped from start to finish. With its twisty plots and interwoven characters it paints a vivid portrait of a crucial decade. It's laugh-out-loud funny, too.

Recently married, Frankie Blue watches with his wife, Veronica, as the sky above the Thames explodes into a kaleidoscope of light.

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.

From the author of Abolish the Family, an unflinching tour of two hundred years of enemy feminisms, making the case instead for the bold, liberatory feminist politics we need. In recent years, "white feminism" and girlboss feminism have taken a justified beating. We know that leaning in won't make our jobs any more tolerable and that white women have proven to be, at best, unreliable allies. But in a time of rising fascism, ceaseless attacks on reproductive justice, and violent transphobia, we need to reckon with what Western feminism has wrought if we have any hope of building the feminist world we need. Sophie Lewis offers an unflinching tour of enemy feminisms, from 19th century imperial feminists and police officers to 20th century KKK feminists and pornophobes to today's anti-abortion and TERF feminists. Enemy feminisms exist. Feminism is not an inherent political good. Only when we acknowledge that can we finally reckon with the ways these feminisms have pushed us toward counterproductive and even violent ends. And only then can we finally engage in feminist strategizing that is truly antifascist. At once a left transfeminist battlecry against cisness, a decolonial takedown of nationalist womanhoods, and a sex-radical retort to femmephobia in all its guises, Enemy Feminisms is above all a fierce, brilliant love letter to feminism.

It''s a story as old as the first European encounters with Indigenous people, playing out in the present day.
