«August Strindberg» is the biography of the Swedish playwright written by Björn Meidal, published by The Swedish Institute in paperback (32 pages, in German).
The book traces the life of August Strindberg and his struggle for international recognition: from his departure from Sweden in 1883, when he was 34, to the triumph of his plays Miss Julie and The Father in Paris in 1893-94. It also explains how that external perspective influenced the understanding of his theatrical work in Sweden and his status as a universal author.
Volume in the Swedish portraits series, published by the Swedish Institute. The back cover includes a quote by the Swiss playwright Friedrich Dürrenmatt about The Ghost Sonata.
For readers interested in Swedish literature and theatre, or in the figure of one of the great renovators of the modern stage.
