Reviews

[Kai Weber · Rating 3 out of 5]

How can a writer whose observation on human beings is so minute fail so extremely when it comes to observing nature? Strindberg's refuting of the natural science of his times and his coming up with strange paraphysical conclusions maybe of some literary value - if you can take is a pure style exercise -, but doesn't say anything substantial about our world. How good that about one third of this German selection from Strindberg's four blue book volumes consists of his descriptions of human relations, mostly but not exclusively the antagonistic or curious ones. Those are a delight.
