An Enemy of the People: An Adaptation of the Play by Henrik Ibsen
About this book
A stage adaptation of the drama "An Enemy of the People" by Henrik Ibsen in which a Norwegian doctor is shunned by the townspeople after he discovers their famous spring water is really poisoned.____When Dr. Stockmann discovers that the water in the small Norwegian town in which he is the resident physician has been contaminated, he does what any responsible citizen would do: reports it to the authorities. But Stockmann's good deed has the potential to ruin the town's reputation as a popular spa destination, and instead of being hailed as a hero, Stockmann is labeled an enemy of the people. Arthur Miller's adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's classic drama is a classic in itself, a penetrating exploration of what happens when the truth comes up against the will of the majority. This edition includes Arthur Miller’s preface and an introduction by John Guare.
