About the book

"Peer Gynt," penned by the esteemed Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, is a richly woven dramatic poem that captures the essence of human experience through the fantastical journey of its titular character. Ibsen's semi-symbolist literary style employs vivid imagery and lyrical prose, creating an allegorical narrative that explores themes of identity, self-deception, and the quest for meaning. Set against the backdrop of Norwegian folklore, the play traverses diverse realms—from the mundane to the supernatural—showcasing Ibsen's innovative departure from realism that was predominant in 19th-century literature, thus solidifying his role as a precursor to modern drama. Ibsen, often regarded as the father of modern realism and a critical voice in European theatre, penned «Peer Gynt» after he had established himself as a leading figure in dramatic literature. His deep-seated interest in the human psyche and societal roles, coupled with his cultural roots in Norway, profoundly informed the development of Peer, a character that reflects Ibsen's own existential inquiries and the complexities of modern life. This voyage of self-exploration also coincides with Ibsen's critique of societal norms, an aspect that makes this work timeless. Readers seeking a profound exploration of the human condition and a reflection on personal authenticity will find «Peer Gynt» an indispensable companion. Enhanced by Arthur Rackham's original colour illustrations, the text invites readers into a world where reality intertwines with the fantastical, making it not only a literary masterpiece but also an artistic visual experience. Ibsen's thoughtful narrative invites deeper contemplation and engagement, ensuring its relevance across generations.
