The Pretenders; Pillars Of Society; Rosmersholm is a collection of three plays written by the Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen and published in 1913. The plays are set in different periods of Norwegian history and explore themes of power, politics, and morality.The first play, The Pretenders, is a historical drama set in the 12th century. It tells the story of two pretenders who both claim the throne of Norway, and the political intrigue and personal conflicts that arise as a result.The second play, Pillars Of Society, is set in the present day (at the time of its writing) and focuses on the corruption and hypocrisy of a small town's leading citizens. The play explores the tension between public image and private reality, and the consequences of living a life built on lies.The third play, Rosmersholm, is a psychological drama set in the late 19th century. It tells the story of a man named Rosmer who is struggling with his own beliefs and values, and the impact this has on his relationships with those around him. The play explores themes of guilt, redemption, and the struggle for personal and societal change.Overall, The Pretenders; Pillars Of Society; Rosmersholm is a thought-provoking collection of plays that examine the complexities of human nature and the forces that shape our lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
