Henrik Ibsen is one of the world and history's greatest playwright. His unique piece of works have changed the way of thinking and writing of many authors. He wrote many dramatic stories and a book of poetry. He is the playwright who played most of William Shakespeare works. Although these two writes in a very difficult and ancient language, they still played all the time. Henrik Ibsen was born in 1928. He grew up in a wealthy family, and his parents belonged to a prestigious family background. This was something that he felt proud. When he was 15, he entered the profession of pharmacy to learn in Grimstad. In 1850 he went to Christiania, where he attended the so-called student factory Holt Rock, together with Herman. It was not a very good experience for Henry, as he failed several subjects there. While he was there he worked as a journalist and he wrote his first play.

With help from the state and the propagator, Ibsen moved to Italy. There he lived for 27 years, and he wrote some of his most famous pieces there. Henrik Ibsen returned to Norway in 1891. He continued to write and share his strong opinions, but fewer and fewer because of his health. He had several strokes and it went further and further down to him, until his death in 1906.
