An Enemy of the People - Paperback

by Henrik Ibsen (Author)

In this classic five act play, Ibsen offers a rebuke to the Victorian notion of community as well as to the blessings of democracy. In a coastal town, a community-minded physician has promoted the development of public baths in order to attract tourists. When he discovers that the water supply for the baths is contaminated and attempts to publicize the failing and correct it, he and his family are all but driven out of the town he was trying to save.
