An Enemy of the People
By Henrik Ibsen

Title available in paperback?: Yes
Pages: 96

Description of Book: "The play fits extremely well with the idea of Sustainable Communities. The focus of the work is on an investigation where a doctor learns that his town's lively hood, a natural hot spring, is chemically infected. When he suggests the community close the springs, the town begins a huge debate whether the natural resource should be closed or kept open so people can have jobs. It definitely explores "structures and values of communities that inspire individuals to make choices that are good not only in the present, but also for our children, and great-great-great grandchildren."
-- Title nominated by Ernie Nolan, faculty, Theatre Area of the School of the Arts
