The stories we get to read in class are interesting and that is one of the things I like about English.
Henrik Ibsen was born on March 20, 1828 in Skien, Norway. He was raised there along with his other four siblings. Ibsen was the oldest of the five. When Henrik was 15, he dropped school and began working as an apprentice in an apothecary in Grimstad. During his free time, he worked on his poetry as well as studying for admission to the University of Christiania.
When Henrik was 23, he was appointed playwright and director of a new theatre at Bergen. This allowed him to write a play every year. In 1862, Ibsen left Norway and settled in Italy. He wrote a play there and soon left to live in Germany in 1868. Here he watched one of his plays be performed for the first time and he soon followed up on it with A Doll's House. He returned to Norway as a literary hero and died there in 1906.
