Acerca de este libro electrónico
In 'Married,' August Strindberg delves into the intricacies of matrimony and gender relations at the turn of the 20th century, adopting a standpoint that unveils the prevailing social conventions as deeply flawed. The narrative, characterized by Strindberg's unique blend of naturalism and expressionism, probes the psychological depths of its characters and depicts the bourgeois family life with arresting candor. The literary style is marked by sharp dialogue and a compelling use of interior monologue, positioning 'Married' not merely as a piece of fiction but as a bold commentary within the broader literary context of the Scandinavian modern break with tradition. In the study of Strindberg's oeuvre, understanding the author's tumultuous personal experiences, particularly his contentious relationships and two divorces, is invaluable. Strindberg's own disillusionment with marriage, amplified by a fervent interest in the women's rights movement and the evolving roles of men and women in society, doubtlessly informed the thematic preoccupations of 'Married.' His portrayal of the convolutions of love and duty reflects a strife-torn view, raising poignant questions about the institution of marriage itself. Strindberg's 'Married' is recommended for readers who are not only interested in Nordic literature but also eager to explore the sociocultural questions that have shaped contemporary views on marriage and gender roles. As a work that transcends its era to touch on universal themes, it resonates with anyone curious about the ambivalent nature of human relationships and the social constructs surrounding them. This book is a testament to Strindberg's enduring relevance as both a writer and a thinker, rendering it an essential read for scholars and enthusiasts of classic literature.
Acerca del autor
Johan August Strindberg (1849–1912) stands out as one of Sweden's most influential playwrights and authors, contributing significantly to the realms of literature and drama. A prolific writer, Strindberg's work often delved into the complexities of the human psyche and social issues, with a penchant for naturalism and later, expressionism. His literary style was groundbreaking and controversial, frequently putting under the microscope the societal norms and gender relations of his time. 'Giftas' (Married), one of his notable works, is a two-volume collection of short stories published in 1884 and 1886, which scrutinized the institution of marriage and underscored the strife and inequality inherent within it. This subject matter was typical of his provocative approach to societal critique, influencing future modernist and expressionist currents. Strindberg's vast oeuvre encompasses not just novels, but also plays, such as 'Miss Julie' and 'The Father', which further cement his reputation as a master of naturalist theater. A complex figure, Strindberg's personal life and views often sparked controversy, but his contribution to the evolution of literature and drama remains undisputed. His works continue to be studied for their rich exploration of character and society and their impact on the trajectory of European literature.
