An enemy of the people

Book • 1960

Henrik Ibsen's "An Enemy of the People" is a social drama that explores themes of truth, morality, and the conflict between individual conscience and societal pressure.

The play follows Dr. Stockmann, a man who discovers that the town's baths, a major source of income, are contaminated.

His attempts to expose the truth lead to a bitter conflict with the town's leaders and the community at large.

Ibsen's play is a powerful critique of conformity and the suppression of dissent.

The play's exploration of the complexities of truth and the challenges of speaking out against powerful interests continues to resonate with audiences today.

"An Enemy of the People" is a classic of social drama.
