  Abstract:  Henrik Ibsen, the playwright who had a decisive contribution to the development of Norwegian literature, chose the exile at the time when his plays were not well received in his native country. He found his freedom, difficult to achieve in Norway, on German soil, in Dresden and Munich. There he came into contact with the authentic culture and his plays won a resounding success. This facilitated the way towards the recognition of his artistic value in Scandinavia as well. However, fame did not bring him the happiness he had hoped for, because the fjords and the sea continued to attract him, although he did not feel Norway as his homeland even after 27 years of exile.

Key Words: Norwegian literature, German theatre, 19th century drama, exile
