The Grimm Brothers collected and wrote stories scattered throughout the rural countryside, recording them based on a general

A Doll’s House was published in Norway in 1879 by Henrik Isben. He is known as the father of Modern Theatre. He is also referred as the father of realism.

In fact, your husband keeps you on a tightrope. Such is the perceived life of Nora Helmer.
