About the Book

Henrik Ibsen, a Norwegian writer, wrote the three-act play A Doll's House. After being published earlier in the month, it had its world premiere on December 21 at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen, Denmark. The piece is set in an 1879-era Norwegian town. Despite the fact that Ibsen denied it, the play is about the fate of a married woman who, at the time, in Norway, lacked realistic prospects for self-fulfillment in a world controlled by males. It created a "storm of angry debate" that spread from the theater to the world of journalism and society at the time, creating a huge sensation. A Doll's House held the distinction of being the most-performed drama in the entire globe in 2006, the year of Ibsen's death and the century of his birth. In 2001, in appreciation of the historical importance of Ibsen's handwritten manuscripts for A Doll's House, UNESCO inscribed them on the Memory of the World Register. Although some academics prefer A Doll House, the play's title is most frequently rendered as A Doll's House. A Doll's House is "the British name for what [Americans] call a dollhouse," according to John Simon.

About Author

Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Johan Ibsen was a Norwegian writer and theatre director who lived from 20 March 1828 to 23 May 1906. He is credited with helping to build modernism in theatre. His best-known works are Rosmersholm, The Master Builder, Brand, Peer Gynt, An Enemy of the People, Emperor and Galilean, Hedda Gabler, Ghosts, The Wild Duck, When We Dead Awaken, Emperor and Galilean, and A Doll's House. In Skien, Norway, Henrik Johan Ibsen was born into a wealthy merchant family. His forefathers were mostly wealthy city merchants and shipowners or members of the Upper Telemark "aristocracy of officials." Ibsen quit school when he was fifteen. Henrik Wergeland and Peter Christen Asbjrnsen and Jrgen Moe's Norwegian folktales served as inspiration for him. Under the alias "Brynjolf Bjarme," he published his first play, Catilina (1850), but it was never staged. He would only make a few trips to Norway during the following 27 years, spending most of them in Germany and Italy.After suffering many strokes, Ibsen passed away at his house at Arbins gade 1 in Kristiania (now Oslo) in March 1900. He was laid to rest at Oslo's Vr Frelsers Gravlund, often known as "The Graveyard of Our Savior." Ibsen exclaimed "On the contrary" ("Tvertimod!") as his final words before passing away.
