Complete and unabridged, with 59 full-page plates by Anders Zorn, Vilhelm Hammershøi and Edvard Munch. Stories about marriage, the first volume published in 1884 and prosecuted for blasphemy — a charge Strindberg answered by returning from abroad to stand trial, and winning. The subject is what men and women actually do to each other behind the front door, and the tone is that of a man conducting an autopsy on his own life. Fifty-nine plates of domestic interiors, family rooms and quiet northern light by Carl Larsson and Anders Zorn carry the private life of the stories into the pictures.
