Few authors have made a mark on literature as the man in front of you has now done. Henrik Ibsen's dramatizations have been published, performed and filmed all over the world. He is considered the founder of the modern, realistic drama. Ibsen was a technical virtuoso of drama, one of the most skilled at using dramatic devices. He was born in Skien in 1828 in a wealthy home, but he quickly caught up with the realities of life when his father went bankrupt. He started working and studying at the same time in the evenings. Eventually he came to Bergen and was allowed to assist as a co-author at Det Norske Theater. Not long after, he made his debut with his first piece in 1953, and then things went from strength to strength. He continued his writing in Oslo a few years later, but had a short stay abroad of 27 years, including in Italy, before he returned to Oslo again. Well-known plays such as "A Doll's House", "An Enemy of Folk" and "Peer Gynt" are some of his world-famous works. There are over 200 known film recordings. Legendary Jane Fonda played the character Nora in the American version of "A dolls house". German, Russian, Japanese and Italian versions followed on a continuous basis. Henrik Ibsen died and was buried in Oslo in 1906.
