HENRIK IBSEN's Profile
Henrik Ibsen was born in a tiny coastal town in the south of Norway. His father, Knud Ibsen, was a merchant. His mother was an avid painter who loved theatre. Later Ibsen bitterly recalled how his father's friends broke all connections with him. In disgrace the family moved to a farmhouse provided to them by creditors.
As a child Ibsen dreamed of becoming an artist. His education was interrupted by poverty and at the age of 15 he was apprenticed to a pharmacist. Ibsen moved in Oslo in 1850, where he attended an irregular school for university candidates, and occasionally earned from his journalistic writings.
Other than An Enemy of the People which he wrote in1882, He is credited for having written other plays such as Catiline(1850), The Burial Mound(1850), Lady Inger of Ostrat (1855), The Vikings of Helgoland (1858), The Pretenders (1864), Love's Comedy (1862), Brand (1866), Peer Gynt (1867), The Emperor and the Galilean (1873), Pillars of Society (1877), A Doll´s House (1879) Ghosts (1881), Hedda Gabler (1890), among other works of art.
