Jonas Lie (writer)
Jonas Lauritz Idemil Lie (; 6 November 1833 – 5 July 1908) was a Norwegian novelist, poet, and playwright who, together with Henrik Ibsen, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson and Alexander Kielland, is considered to have been one of '' the Four Greats'' of 19th century Norwegian literature. Background Jonas Lie was born at Hokksund in Øvre Eiker, in the county of Buskerud, Norway. His parents were Mons Lie (1803–81) and Pauline Christine Tiller (1799–1877). Five years after his son's birth, Lie's father was appointed sheriff of Tromsø, which lies within the Arctic Circle, and young Jonas Lie spent six of the most impressionable years of his life at that remote port.
