Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen was born on 20 March 1828 at Skien, into a merchant family whose business declined during his childhood. An apprentice apothecary at Grimstad, he worked for six years at the Bergen theatre as author and director, then from 1857 ran the Norwegian Theatre of Christiania, which went bankrupt in 1862. Leaving in 1864, he lived for twenty-seven years in Italy and Germany, in Rome, Dresden and Munich, before settling in Christiania in 1891. A first stroke struck him in 1900; he died at home on 23 May 1906.
