August Strindberg 
Strindberg Plays: 1 
The Father; Miss Julie; the Ghost Sonata

This volume contains three of Strindberg»s most famous plays, spanning twenty years of prodigious creativity and recurrent personal crises: The Father, which displays Strindberg»s suspicion of women at its most implacable, »powerful and profound» (Guy de Maupassant); Miss Julie (1888), which he called his masterpiece, and in which he presents with startling modernity the conflict between sexual passion and social position; and The Ghost Sonata (1907), written in physical pain and spiritual torment, which is a phantasmagoric dream play, »a direct source for the Theatre of the Absurd» (Martin Esslin).’Michael Meyer is the translator most actors turn to when seeking a definitive text’ (Sunday Times)
