He was born in a small town on the Norwegian coast in 1828, but later moved to Italy and then Germany, where he wrote most of his works and rose to worldwide fame. He is known for his realist approach and for his use of the theater to explore morally complex issues and the falseness of contemporary society. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in three successive years (1902, 1903 and 1904), although he never won the prestigious award.This practical and insightful reading guide offers a complete summary and analysis of A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen.
