Henrik Ibsen

…

…ambitions, introspection and defeats came to the fore during the last phase of his career when he wrote The Master Builder (1892), Little Eyolf (1894), John Gabriel Borkman (1896) and the dramatic epilogue When We Dead Awaken (1899). His Poems, collected and published in 1871, show that he was also a master of lyric poetry. Henrik Ibsen died on 23 May 1906 in Christiania after suffering from a debilitating illness that prevented him from writing during the last years of his life.
