Описание: A satire of the rapidly changing society of the 1870s, it was Strindberg`s first novel and marked his literary breakthrough. It contains some of the great set-piece scenes in Swedish literature, a gallery of unforgettable caricatures in the spirit of Dickens, humour, pathos and satirical targets as apt now as they were then.

Описание: This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING

Описание: A LOVE idyl in the form of a drama; a fairy drama at that, with characters and incidents reminiscent of Grimm's Maerchen; is hardly what one would expect from the pen of an avowed misogynist, a playwright whose usual work out-Ibsens Ibsen in realism, and who has an almost diabolical genius for dissecting a woman's soul and laying bare its faults and weaknesses. Such an idyl, however, August Strindberg has given us in "Swanwhite," a play more suggestive of Maeterlinck than of any other modern writer, save possibly Gerhart Hauptmann. "Swanwhite" is the direct outcome of a love affair of its author, (which suggests that Strindberg's misogyny may be due more to an extreme idealization of woman than to an inborn dislike of the fair sex), as it was written partly just before, and partly just after his marriage to Harriet Bosse, the Swedish actress, in the spring of 1901. Maeterlinck's personality, too, may have had something to do with its form, as Strindberg met the Belgian poet about the same time he was writing this little drama. "Swanwhite" is remarkable also as being one of the very few plays Strindberg has written with a literary flavor, his ordinary custom being to make his dialogue as realistic as possible, quite regardless of rhetorical nourishes.If passages in the following translation appear stilted to the reader, he is asked to remember that Strindberg has invested his original with verbal forms never used in ordinary conversation, the evident intent being to produce an atmosphere of artificiality. I have thought it necessary to retain the second personal pronoun as a familiar form of address, as so much stress is laid upon its employment by Swanwhite in her initial scene with the Prince; she addressing him affectionately, while he strives to maintain dignity by the use of the more formal pronoun "you." Of the translation as a whole it may be said that, although the attempt has been made to follow the original as closely as possible, literal rendering has been sacrificed whenever it seemed more advisable to give the spirit rather than the letter of the play.

Описание: August Strindberg and Visual Culture addresses the multiplicity of Strindberg’s artistic and literary output. The book charts the vital intersections between theatre, aesthetic theory, and visual elements in his work that have been left largely unexplored. Rather than following traditional genre-bound critical approaches, this book focuses on the intermediality of individual works, the corpus as a whole, and their connections to a wide array of historical and contemporary artists, writers, photographers, film, theatre and museum practitioners. The book is beautifully illustrated, with many never-before-seen images from Strindberg’s work, and includes contributions from actress Liv Ullmann, director Robert Wilson, and curator and museum director Daniel Birnbaum.
