關於這本電子書
In "Pillars of Society," Henrik Ibsen crafts a poignant critique of moral hypocrisy within 19th-century Norwegian society, exposing the discord between personal integrity and societal expectations. Through a rich tapestry of dialogue and complex character interactions, Ibsen employs realism to narrate the plight of several characters entangled in a web of deceit, ambition, and betrayal. Central to this exploration is the character of Bernick, whose facade of respectability masks a deep-seated moral crisis, set against the backdrop of industrial progress and the evolving social landscape. Henrik Ibsen, often referred to as the father of modern drama, drew from his own experiences within a society fraught with rigid social structures and ethical dilemmas. Born in Skien, Norway, his early life was marked by economic hardship, which shaped his keen understanding of human nature and social conflict. These influences permeated his work, infusing his plays with a critical perspective on the prescribed roles within society and the individual's quest for authenticity amidst oppressive norms. "Pillars of Society" is a must-read for those fascinated by the interplay of personal ethics and societal constraints. Ibsen's insights remain strikingly relevant today, rendering this work not just a historical artifact, but a powerful commentary on ongoing social dilemmas. Readers seeking a profound narrative that challenges societal conventions will find Ibsen's masterpiece both enlightening and provocatively engaging.
關於作者
Henrik Ibsen, born on March 20, 1828, in Skien, Norway, is one of the most eminent playwrights of the 19th century and is often referred to as the father of modern drama. Ibsen's career spanned over 50 years, and his works have had a profound influence on the development of modernist and realist theatre. He initially studied medicine but quickly turned to writing. His early works were influenced by the romantic tradition, but he soon developed a distinctive style focused on psychological depth and a critical examination of societal norms. 'Pillars of Society' (1877) marked a pivotal point in Ibsen's career, showcasing his break from romanticism towards a realistic depiction of social issues, examining the moral conflicts faced by individuals within the community. It is a scathing commentary on the hypocrisy and materialism that Ibsen saw in 19th-century society, themes that would be further explored in his later, more famous plays such as 'A Doll's House' (1879) and 'Hedda Gabler' (1890). His literary artistry is distinguished by his intricate character development and dialogue that often reveals underlying tensions and existential dilemmas. Influencing authors such as George Bernard Shaw and Arthur Miller, Ibsen's legacy continues to resonate within contemporary theatre for his insightful exploration of individual struggle and societal expectations. He passed away on May 23, 1906, leaving behind a rich legacy of theatrical masterpieces that continue to be performed worldwide.
