«La señorita Julia» is the play by August Strindberg, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (136 pages, in Spanish).
On a Swedish estate, during Midsummer night, Julia, a count's daughter, is drawn to Juan, an ambitious servant. The game of seduction between classes turns into a tense duel of wills where lust, manipulation, and the contradictions of a power-driven society surface.
The play was originally published in 1888 as «Fröken Julie»; this Spanish edition includes the translation by Francisco J. Uriz Echeverría.
For readers interested in classic European theatre, Scandinavian naturalism, and late-19th-century dramas.
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.
