About this book
"Catilina" by Henrik Ibsen is a historical drama written in 1848-49. Ibsen's first play centers on the noble Roman Lucius Catilina, torn between his wife Aurelia and the Vestal virgin Furia. Written in blank verse, the work portrays a protagonist full of doubts, caught between conflicting desires and duties. Inspired by Cicero's orations and the revolutionary climate of 1840s Europe, Ibsen presents the Roman conspirator as a troubled hero whose story has been shaped by his conquerors.
