Description

A startling, intimate account of the early years of this celebrated author and philosopher. The peculiar warping of Strindberg's character had its beginning in childhood and boyhood, the periods so intimately described in this volume. No one can understand Strindberg who has not read this powerful book. "The Son of a Servant" is the first volume of the remarkable series of autobiographical novels by August Strindberg, The allusion in this title, as Edwin Bjorkman has pointed out, is twofold - "to the author's birth, and to the position which fate, in his own eyes, seemed to have assigned him, both as man and as artist."
