Summary
Ivo de Figueiredo: Henrik Ibzen The Man
The scene is Šijen in the thirties of the 19th century. Not as he was, but as he appears in the retrospect of an old man. In the winter of 1881, Henrik Ibsen began to write about his life. He doesn't get very far before giving up, as he usually does when trying to write prose. A few pages about the city of his childhood is all he achieves before putting down his pen. But there is a whole life in these pages, and more than that.
