Summary
Dr. Stockman is pilloried by townsmen who are unable to accept his discovery that the town's water supply is toxic. Best Books for Senior High Readers. This is a modern translation by Arthur Miller of the story of a doctor who cannot conform. Dr. Stockmann attempts to expose a water pollution scandal in his home town which is about to establish itself as a spa. When his brother, the mayor, conspires with local politicians and the newspaper to suppress the story, Stockmann appeals to the public meeting only to be shouted down and reviled as an enemy of the people. Ibsen's explosive play reveals his distrust of politicians and the blindly held prejudices of the solid majority.
