graphic novel
An Enemy of the People
Dr. Stockmann finds out that the town’s thermal springs are
contaminated. They are the jewel of a small town and a tourist
attraction. Dr. Stockmann wishes to reveal this to the public, but his
brother, the mayor, wants to silence him.
An Enemy of the People is a graphic novel adaptation of Ibsen’s play with the same title. I liked Henrik Ibsen in high school, but I must admit I didn’t read the original play. The story of dr. Stockmann shows us how politics can influence the public and often wins over a public health issue. Ibsen lived and wrote his plays in the 19th century. But the questions they raise, although not so likable, can be still relevant today.
I wasn’t sure about the art at first. But after a few pages, beautiful illustrations with vivid colors came into view, and it turned out this style is very suitable for this story of political games.
