Books by Henrik Ibsen

Da Henrik Ibsen udgav Hedda Gabler i december 1890 vakte det stor interesse, men de norske anmeldere var usikre og forvirrede over den gådefulde Hedda-skikkelse. Hedda Tesman er datter af afdøde general Gable. Hun har giftet sig med den småborgerlige Jørgen Tesman, men føler snart modvilje mod ægtemanden. Hun føler sig fanget i ægteskabet og har kun ét ønske: at blive fri og få magten over sit eget liv.

Halvard Solness on keski-ikainen rakennusalan ammattilainen, jolla menee paallisin puolin hyvin. Solnessilla on vaimo, ja han on vakiinnuttanut jalansijansa yhtena kaupunkinsa menestyneimmista arkkitehdeista. Tasapaino kuitenkin jarkkyy, kun kuvioihin astuu nuori vietteleva nainen, Hilda Wangel. Wangelista tulee Solnessin taloudenhoitaja, ja heista tulee Solnessin kanssa nopeasti laheisia. Wangel tukee Solnessin uraa, ja kannustaa tata myos silloin, kun korkeanpaikankammoinen Solness harkitsee kiipeamista rakentamaansa torniin. Solness rohkaistuukin yrittamaan, mutta pian tapahtumat saavat yllattavan kaanteen. -

Excerpt from On the Heights (Paa Vidderne): A Tragedy in Lyrical Ballads Be not unto us a joy forever; symbols rather of European fames distinctly incomprehensible and as we might honor the mummy of Rameses, or inspect a brass idol in a Joss-house, so we stare at these foreign glories and chuckle superiorly as we think of the verse that sells!

Bis heute eine Ikone: Henrik Ibsen, der wortgewaltige Dramatiker, der gegen die Moral und Lebenslüge seiner Zeit wetterte. Was tut man, wenn man als erwachsener Mann einer Zwölfjährigen einen Kuss auf die Wange drückt und ihr verspricht, in zehn Jahren mit einem Schloss für sie aufzuwarten? Für Baumeister Solneß ein echtes Problem, denn nach zehn Jahren steht die junge Dame vor ihm und erkundigt sich nach dem versprochenen Schloss... In Gespenster zeichnet Ibsen den Untergang einer ganzen Familie auf, um die dramatisch rückständige Gesellschaftsordnung seiner Tage anzuprangern. Gröls-Verlag (Edition Werke der Weltliteratur)

Performed for the first time in 1891, "Hedda Gabler" is one of Henrik Ibsen's greatest dramas. It is the story of its title character, Hedda, a self-centered and manipulative woman who has grown bored of her new marriage to the kind and reliable George. Hedda was born to a life of luxury and privilege and marries a man she does not love to avoid becoming a spinster. After returning from her honeymoon, Hedda discovers that her marriage will not be the life of wealth and excitement she was accustomed to and that George will never be the ambitious and successful man she wishes him to be. To escape her boredom, she begins to meddle in the lives of George's academic rival, Eilert, who is Hedda's former paramour, and Eilert's unsuspecting wife, Thea. Hedda fears that Eilert and his professional success may stand in the way of George's future in academia and Hedda takes it upon herself to sabotage her husband's rival, leading to truly tragic consequences for everyone involved. Marked by one of the most dramatic female roles in all of theater, "Hedda Gabler" stands as an enduring masterpiece by Norway's most famous playwright, Henrik Ibsen. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, follows the translation of Edmund Gosse and William Archer, with an introduction by William Archer.
