Doll's House and Other Plays: With Pillars of the Community, Ghosts and an Enemy of the People
Doll's House and Other Plays: With Pillars of the Community, Ghosts and an Enemy of the People | Henrik Ibsen
5 posts | 11 read | 6 to read
Four of Ibsen's most important plays in superb modern translations, part of the new Penguin Ibsen series. With her assertion that she is "first and foremost a human being," rather than a wife, mother or fragile doll, Nora Helmer sent shockwaves throughout Europe when she appeared in Henrik Ibsen's greatest and most famous play, A Doll's House. Ibsen's follow-up, Ghosts, was no less radical, with its unrelenting investigation into religious hypocrisy, family secrets, and sexual double-dealing. These two masterpieces are accompanied here by The Pillars of Society and An Enemy of the People, both exploring the tensions and dark compromises at the heart of society.

I never read plays but it‘s fun! The description of the decor, the speed with which a whole plot needs to be finished within time limits. And the characters, setting and timeframe are great, especially in A Doll House. Thanks for sending me this one @CarolynM 🩷

KarenUK I saw The Doll‘s house in NYC this year, and it blew me away, then went on to read it. You‘re so right, I should read more! 14mo
BarbaraBB @KarenUK I had no idea it would be so fun. How cool that you went to see the play! 14mo

#WeeklyForecast 51/23

Ambitious plans but the holidays are on their way and hopefully time to read a lot! I am reading The Rise and Fall of Great Powers but having a hard time getting the hang of it. I also started Idlewild for #LitsyToB24 which is super promising. Next will be the tagged and I also hope to read this gorgeous edition of Murakami‘s Sputnik Sweetheart.

Megabooks I think Rachman is a difficult author to parse. I have not read that one but I‘ve only enjoyed his latest of the others I‘ve tried, and it was…weird. Can‘t wait to see what you finish on vacation!!

I'm so glad I got to read Ibsen a decade back. My favourite play is Ghosts. I also enjoyed reading-A Doll's House, An Enemy of the People, and Hedda Gabler. #norway

ladym30 Like the cover! 7y
batsy Ooh! I need to read this! 7y
BiblioLitten @batsy I'm sure you'll love it. 💓 I love the penguin edition too. Their introduction is very interesting. I love how the climate and hereditary become relevant themes in the plays, esp Ghosts 7y
batsy Yes, I love the Penguin Classics editions for their intros and supplementary notes 🖤 7y
