This classic comedy by the author often considered the father of Danish-Norwegian literature, presents a vivid portrayal of peasant life during the 18th century. The story follows the misadventures of Jeppe, a poor and downtrodden farmer who, after a drunken stupor, awakens to find himself being treated as a baron in a strange castle. As the bewildered Jeppe tries to grapple with his new identity and navigate the unfamiliar surroundings, the play humorously exposes the absurdity of class privilege and the resilience of the human spirit. Through its exploration of themes such as identity, social inequality, and the nature of reality, this satirical work not only provides a glimpse into a bygone era but also resonates with contemporary readers, offering thought-provoking insights into the complexities of human nature and the enduring power of laughter.
