About this book
In the late 19th century, Sweden grappled with profound social stratification, a backdrop that shapes August Strindberg's "Der Sohn einer Magd." This semi-autobiographical novel delves into the life of Johan, the son of a merchant and a servant, as he confronts the rigid class structures that dictate his existence. Strindberg masterfully explores themes of identity and fear, revealing how societal expectations can stifle the human spirit. With vivid portrayals of both the privileged and the marginalized, the narrative invites readers to reflect on the complexities of class dynamics. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, "Der Sohn einer Magd" offers a compelling examination of identity within a divided society, making it a crucial addition to any literary exploration of social themes.
