«Inferno» is the autobiographical account by August Strindberg, published by Ediciones Destino in paperback (261 pages, in Spanish).
In these pages Strindberg recounts the personal, spiritual and mental crisis he suffered in Paris at the end of the 19th century. With obsessive and often hallucinatory prose, he observes himself caught between anguish, mysticism and the fear of madness, in a descent into his own inner hells.
This Spanish-language edition, published in 1989, includes an introduction by Josep Maria Carandell.
Suitable for readers of literature and fiction seeking an intense autobiographical testimony and a first-person psychological exploration.
Johan August Strindberg was a Swedish playwright, novelist, poet, essayist, and painter. A prolific writer who often drew directly on his personal experience, Strindberg wrote more than 60 plays and more than 30 works of fiction, autobiography, history, cultural analysis, and politics during his career, which spanned four decades. A bold experimenter and iconoclast throughout his life, he explored a wide range of dramatic methods and purposes, from naturalistic tragedy, monodrama, and historical plays to his anticipations of expressionist and surrealist dramatic techniques. From his earliest work, Strindberg developed innovative forms of dramatic action, language, and visual composition. He is considered the "father" of modern Swedish literature and his The Red Room (1879) has frequently been described as the first modern Swedish novel. In Sweden, Strindberg is known as an essayist, painter, poet, and especially novelist and playwright, but in other countries he is known mostly as a playwright.
