Product Description

Laura and Adolf have a daughter, Bertha, whom they both wish to claim as their own. Laura tells Adolf that he cannot be sure he is her real father. Wrestling with this thought, driven mad by Laura's malice and finally betrayed even by Bertha, Adolf is last seen being strapped into a straitjacket.



About the Author
August Strindberg (1849-1912) is best-known for his misogyny and as the author of Miss Julie (1889). His first success came as a novelist and autobiographer. His plays (and he wrote over sixty) were deeply controversial in their time and still are to some extent. They range form bold naturalism (e.g. The father, 1887) to an entralling expressionism (e.g. The Ghost Sonata, 1907).

5.0 out of 5 stars Father, a masterpiece..., December 28, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Father (Paperback)
After writing the Red Room and several other wonderful books, Father is really one of Strindberg's most fantastic work. It is stunning how a person can describe human beings in the way Strindberg does, or did, since he past away over 80 years ago... Just buy it and read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fadren -- Fadrentastic!, September 13, 2000
By David-Michael-Pittichimaccio "davelovescookies" (Tsawwassen, British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews

Naturalistic fiction has never been so stripped,
a choking ibsenomaic portion;
precocial nautch that grows as it goes.
Strindberg's stronger wiccecræft stronger.
