About this book

In an era marked by the Enlightenment's challenge to social norms, "Jeppe on the Hill; Or, The Transformed Peasant: A Comedy in Five Acts" by Holberg delivers a sharp critique of class and authority. This comedic masterpiece follows Jeppe, a beleaguered peasant, as he navigates the absurdities of his life under the thumb of his domineering wife, Nille. With its exploration of themes like identity and transformation, the play cleverly juxtaposes the mundane with the fantastical, inviting readers to reflect on the nature of power and self-worth. Ideal for students and civic activists alike, this work not only entertains but also provokes thought about societal structures. Discover how humor can illuminate the human condition in this timeless classic.
