Especificaciones del producto
Escrito por Henrik Ibsen
Skien, (1828-1906). Henrik Ibsen vivió una infancia marcada por las penurias económicas y la separación de sus padres. Su vocación como dramaturgo le llevó a trabajar en el Teatro Nacional de Bergen y, más tarde, a asumir la dirección del Teatro Noruego, donde dificultades económicas provocaron su marcha a Italia y Alemania. Autor prolijo, el reconocimiento de su obra no se produjo hasta la publicación de Brandt, poema dramático de corte romántico. Los pilares de la sociedad señaló el inicio de obras de temática social marcadas por un fuerte realismo, entre las que destacan Casa de muñecas, Espectros y Un enemigo del pueblo.
