Publisher's Synopsis
There is always an aspect of Strindberg's character - from the raging sociopolitical polemicist to the psychologically introspective writer - that fits the prevailing spirit and intellectual climate of the times. His thoughts on morality, class, power structures and familial politics are still relevant today. The unflagging struggle for free thinking and free speech that he waged throughout his life is more important than ever in a time when censorship prevails in many countries. Another reason for Strindberg's popularity is his accessibility. While some older literature can feel dated, he used everyday language, and today his texts feel remarkably modern.
