Sinossi
Excerpt from Jeppe on the Hill: Or the Transformed Peasant; A Comedy in Five Acts
In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries two great spiritual movements Spread over Europe', the Renais sance and the Reformation. The former was confined principally to southern Europe, and did not influence the life or literature of the Scandinavian countries to any great extent. The Reformation however, caused a new tho brief literary era, especially in Denmark, where the mother tongue was again accorded its proper place, and the people again began to think of a national future.
Much had conspired to make the people of Europe lose faith in the old ideas. Copernicus had demonstrated that, the earth was only a planet in an immense system, and Kepler and Galileo had taught that the earth circled about the sun, and that there was order and regularity in the movements of the heavenly bodies. Finally New ton announced his principle that the law of gravitation governed each and every one of these movements. All this together with the geographical discoveries of Col umbus Magellan, De Gama and others, revolutionized people s ideas of the universe and of the earth.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This classic comedy by the author often considered the father of Danish-Norwegian literature, presents a vivid portrayal of peasant life during the 18th century. The story follows the misadventures of Jeppe, a poor and downtrodden farmer who, after a drunken stupor, awakens to find himself being treated as a baron in a strange castle. As the bewildered Jeppe tries to grapple with his new identity and navigate the unfamiliar surroundings, the play humorously exposes the absurdity of class privilege and the resilience of the human spirit. Through its exploration of themes such as identity, social inequality, and the nature of reality, this satirical work not only provides a glimpse into a bygone era but also resonates with contemporary readers, offering thought-provoking insights into the complexities of human nature and the enduring power of laughter.
