About this book

In the early 18th century, societal norms often left the lower classes voiceless and oppressed. "Jeppe sur la Monto; aŭ la Transformita Kamparano" by Ludvig Holberg explores this theme through the lens of comedy, presenting Jeppe, a beleaguered farmer, who finds himself at the mercy of his domineering wife, Nille. This satirical play delves into the absurdities of social hierarchy and the transformative power of identity, as Jeppe's drunken escapades lead to unexpected revelations. Ideal for students and civic activists alike, this work challenges readers to reflect on the nature of autonomy and social justice, making it a timeless piece that resonates with contemporary discussions on equality. Discover the humor and insight in Holberg's masterful storytelling.
