"Holberg's Comedies: Jeppe of the Woods, The Political Trickster, Erasmus Montanus" is a collection of works by the outstanding Danish playwright Ludwig Holberg, who is considered the father of Scandinavian comedy. This collection combines three of his most famous comedies, which were impressively innovative for their time.
"Jeppe of the Forest" tells the story of a simple peasant, Jeppe, who escapes from life in a drunken world. "Political Artificer" is a sharp satire on power and political intrigue, where the main character, a cunning master, skilfully uses the situation to his advantage. "Erasmus Montanus" is a comedy that ridicules dogmatic thinking and narrow-mindedness.
In these comedies, Holberg skillfully combines deep philosophical thoughts with humor and satire, creating works that remain relevant and witty even to this day. This collection will not only delight you with its wit and fun, but also leave an unforgettable impression with its depth and philosophical content.
