By far Strindberg's most aggressive work, The Father is a feverish nightmare of the struggle he saw between defiant masculinity and the "treacherous weakness" of woman. Mr. Brustein's adaptation takes account of modern feminist sensibilities without diminishing the play's relentless power and furious conclusion.

August Strindberg's "The Father",
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Father (Dover Thrift Editions) (Paperback)
It's a fascinating play, laying bare the relationships, at that time, between the sexes. Chilling in its portrayals. If you're a man and about to get married - don't read this!

Father, a masterpiece...,
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.
