An Enemy of the People

The narrative revolves around Dr. Stockmann, who discovers that the town's baths are contaminated, presenting a moral dilemma between public health and economic stability. As he pushes for transparency, he faces fierce opposition from his brother, the mayor, and local media, revealing the tensions between individual ethics and community interests. Ibsen skillfully explores the consequences of truth-telling in a society more concerned with financial implications than moral integrity. This edition features a translation by R. Farquharson Sharp and an introduction by Otto Heller.
