Henrik Ibsen
Book Overview:
Karsten Bernick is the dominant businessman in a small coastal town in Norway, with interests in shipping and shipbuilding in a long-established family firm. Now he is planning his most ambitious project yet, backing a railway which will connect the town to the main line and open a fertile valley which he has been secretly buying up. Suddenly his past explodes on him with the arrival of Lona Hessel, the woman he once jilted, and Johan Tonnesen, who left town in disgrace fifteen years earlier

Bernick (taking the telegram): Ah--from the owners of the "Indian Girl".
Rummel: Is the mail in? Oh, then you must excuse me.
Vigeland: And me too.
Sandstad: Good day, Mr. Bernick.
Bernick: Good day, good day, gentlemen. And remember, we have a meeting this afternoon at five o'clock.
The Three Men: Yes--quite so--of course. (They go out to the right.)
Bernick (who has read the telegram): This is thoroughly American! Absolutely shocking!
Mrs. Bernick: Good gracious, Karsten, what is it?
Bernick: Look at this, Krap! Read it!
Krap (reading): "Do the least repairs possible. Send over 'Indian Girl' as soon as she is ready to sail; good time of year; at a pinch her cargo will keep her afloat. . . Read More

I am a fan of Ibsen and I wish I could love this play more but its deus ex machina happy ending is fake and flaccid and had me groaning. How can the author of Ghosts be so sentimental? I enjoyed everything but to it though.
پایه‌های جامعه از هنریک ایبسن
(view spoiler)[
ایبسن به خوبی ویژگی‌های ریاکارانه و سودجویانه‌ی جامعه‌ی مدرن را هدف می‌گیرد؛ در جامعه‌ی مدرن، هدف انباشت سرمایه است حتی اگر به قیمت روانه کردن کشتی‌های نیمه‌خراب به دریا باشد و خطر غرق شدن خدمه به دنبال آن باشد. نهایتاً هم چون کشتی بیمه شده است، باکی نیست؛ چون فقط سود مه (hide spoiler)]
I went on a tear on 2007 and read all of Henrik Ibsen and all of August Strindberg. Before I could get to all of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, I had to turn back to writing, and I can't read while I write. Ibsen is wonderful. The thing I like most about Ibsen is that he loves and respects women at least
《ستون های جامعه》 به نقد جامعه ای می‌پردازد که سردمدارانش را انسان های دروغگو و رویاکار تشکیل داده. جامعه ای که با حقیقت بیگانه است، جامعه ای که دل به سه چهار مسئول توخالی و پفکی بسته، و این جامعه برای ما ایرانیان چقدر آشناست....
این اثر ایبسن رو از همه بیشتر دوست داشتم، شخصیت پردازی فوق العاده ای دار
هرچند در پایان‌بندی ناگهان خیلی افت می‌کرد، آنقدر چیزهای خوب داشت که همچنان چهار ستاره بگیرد. و جذابیت این کار در دل مجموعه آثار برایم از این جهت است که اتود خیلی از ایده‌ها را که در آثار پسین به کمال می‌رسند در اینجا می‌توان دید.
"الصدق والحرية هما أعمدة المجتمع"
بهذه العبارة البديعة ينهي هنريك ابسن رائعتة أعمدة المجتمع
عن الطبقة الارستقراطية الطفيلية وعن الزيف والكذب والادعاء الفضيلة
عن المظاهر الخادعة
وعن توحش الرأسمالية
مسرحية جميلة وان كانت نهايتها مثالية أكثر من اللازم
لا اقتنع بالنهايات التي يخرج الكل فيها رابحون
