Gengangere by Henrik Ibsen

I think [b:A Doll's House|37793|A Doll's House|Henrik Ibsen|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1427119396s/37793.jpg|10535173] will always be my favourite Ibsen play, but this one explores some interesting ideas. You can certainly imagine the scandal of a play that alludes to syphilis and incest in the 1800s. An interesting look at the idea of behavioural patterns repeating themselves in families, of "ghosts" from the past remaining in the present.

Traduction de Régis Boyer. Le titre original norvégien de la pièce (« Gengangere ») semble plus approprié que le titre de la traduction anglaise (« Ghosts ») puisque « Gengangere » fait référence à un esprit qui revient hanter quelqu'un, un peu plus sinistre que l'équivalent anglais ! Le titre de la traduction française reproduit pourtant parfaitement le caractère macabre du mot original : « revenant » signifie littéralement quelqu'un qui « re-vient ».

La traduction par Maurice Prozor et sa femme Marthe-Elsa Bonde est disponible gratos sur Wikisource (1892).
