@George,
Mine's a Norwegian novel.

I think yours is A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court.

@izzythepush,
I'm guessing it's an Ibsen but I don't know the body of work that well. An Enemy of the People?

@jespah,
It's not an Ibsen. First name sounds something like this.

I wouldn't have gotten it, but it's a great click-bait line.
