SUMMARY: For Stockholm-born August Strindberg, marriage never proved an easy matter. Of his three ventures into the life of matrimony, the first ended in divorce -- as did the acrimonious second . . . while the third fared barely better, brought to an end by an amicable parting of ways. Strindberg's artistic sense reliably guided him to the heart of the deeply human matter at hand: that of the meeting of the two sexes, and of their pairing into that shaky arrangement which is considered the bedrock of society.

Some of the illustrations have been neatly coloured-in with water-colours, name to the half-title page, in matching slip case. Member of the P.B.F.A. CHILDREN'S & JUVENILE.
