This play in three acts is one of the most noted by the great Norwegian dramatist, and the translation by Edith and Warner Oland is generally considered the best. Warner Oland is remembered by millions of movie fans as the famous Charlie Chan, but he was also a dis-tinguished linguist and translator of Scandinavian literature, especially of works by Au-gust Strindberg. The powerful cover was designed by Karl Eldh after a statue of Strindberg himself. The Father is another classic of world literature which Mr. Edmund Brown put together in his famous series known as IPL, International Pocket Library.
