    Ludvig Holberg!

    Hello!

    I just noticed under the author sections that you guys dont have anything of Ludvig Holberg. Dont worry this fantastic playwright and philosopher have been dead over 250 years so the public domain "stuff" is ok, i will presume.

    It would be nice if you guys could add some of his plays here. If there is english translations of them.



    Some info from wikipedia:

    Ludvig Holberg, Baron of Holberg (December 3, 1684 – January 28, 1754) was a writer, essayist, philosopher, historian and playwright born in Bergen, Norway during the time of the Dano-Norwegian double monarchy, and spent most of his adult life in Denmark. He was influenced by the Humanism, the Enlightenment and the Baroque. Holberg is considered the founder of modern Danish and Norwegian literature,[and is best known for the comedies he wrote 1722–23 for the theatre in Lille Grønnegade in Copenhagen. Holberg's works about natural and common law were widely read by many Danish law students over two hundred years, from 1736 to 1936.

    Always do that, wild ducks do. They shoot to the bottom as deep as they can get, sir — and bite themselves fast in the tangle and seaweed — and all the devil's own mess that grows down there. And they never come up again. - The Wild Duck, Henrik Ibsen.
