A pivotal figure of late nineteenth century theatre, the Swedish playwright, novelist and essayist August Strindberg produced over sixty plays and more than thirty works of fiction, often drawing directly on his personal experience.

This comprehensive eBook presents Strindberg's collected works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts appearing for the first time digital print, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
