Abstract
The town; the native town of his birth, in which he wants to live and serve, to which he would belong completely, if anywhere he can belong: this is the world in which Doctor Thomas Stockmann lives. Only a town? Yes, a town, a polis which is respected as the natural habitat of civilized man, beginning in Hellas. A town which contains on a small scale an assembly of all human horizons, of powers, aspirations, fields of action, loves, discoveries, rights and wrongs. A miniature world, or better, a miniature of a whole world.
