Semmelweis Jensa Bjørneboe – bunt na wskroś czasu i przestrzeni
Jens Bjørneboe's Semmelweis – rebellion across time and space

Summary/Abstract: This text is an attempt to read Semmelweis, a drama by Norwegian author Jens Bjørneboe as a reaction to the students' revolt that swept through Western Europe. First of all, the analysis of the piece and its origin allows to show the specificity of the then Norwegian cultural and political discourse which developed in peripheral Europe; second of all, it shows an interesting outlook of Jens Bjørneboe on the students' riots as such. As it turns out, the Norwegian writer saw them as noble uprisings, but doomed to failure, only paving the way for a global anarchist revolution.
