À propos de cet e-book

Henrik Ibsen's "Peer Gynt (Illustrated Edition)" is a masterful exploration of self-identity, ambition, and the complex nature of reality. Written in poetic verse, this dramatic work combines enchanting folklore with profound philosophical inquiry, embodying the spirit of 19th-century Romanticism. Ibsen employs vivid imagery and allegorical narrative to follow the life of Peer Gynt, a young man whose fantastical adventures reflect the struggle between societal expectations and personal desires. Set against a backdrop of Scandinavian landscapes and mythical elements, the play critiques both the individual and the collective human experience, offering readers an intricate tapestry of moral dilemmas and existential questions. Henrik Ibsen, often regarded as the father of modern drama, was deeply influenced by the societal changes and emerging psychological theories of his time. His own experiences in Norway's rural settings and engagement with folk traditions significantly shaped his thematic concerns in "Peer Gynt." The play, initially performed in 1867, showcases Ibsen's innovative narrative style and bold exploration of character psychology, marking a departure from previous theatrical conventions. "Peer Gynt (Illustrated Edition)" is highly recommended for readers seeking to immerse themselves in a rich literary experience that combines captivating storytelling with profound philosophical reflection. Ibsen's timeless themes resonate in contemporary society, inviting readers to ponder their own journeys of self-discovery. This edition, enhanced with illustrations, offers a unique visual complement to Ibsen's poetic language, making it an essential addition for students and enthusiasts of dramatic literature.

À propos de l'auteur

Henrik Ibsen, born on March 20, 1828, in Skien, Norway, is often heralded as the father of modern drama. He transformed the European stage with his realistic plays that delved into the heart of social issues and the complexities of human psychology. Ibsen's work is marked by a rejection of the romantic traditions that dominated the 19th century, and he utilized a more critical, probing approach to character development and narrative structure. 'PEER GYNT (Illustrated Edition)' is one of his celebrated works, originally a five-act play in verse, which was first published in 1867. The play follows the eponymous character, Peer Gynt, through a fantastical and allegorical journey of self-discovery and self-indulgence, reflecting Ibsen's preoccupation with the individual's struggle against societal norms. Despite being less well-known internationally than some of his later works such as 'A Doll's House' and 'Hedda Gabler,' 'PEER GYNT' reveals Ibsen's growing awareness of the dramatic potential within the inner life of his characters. His contribution to literature extends beyond his narrative prowess; Ibsen is credited with laying the groundwork for modernist plays and influencing countless playwrights and novelists who followed. He passed away on May 23, 1906, in Christiania (now Oslo), but his legacy endures, as his plays continue to be performed and studied worldwide.
