{"product_id":"9780816679744","title":"Selected Plays, Volume II","description":"This second volume of the great Swedish writer August Strindberg’s plays begins with To Damascus I (1898), the first of a trilogy. It mirrors his own departure from the naturalism he had explored in several of his earlier works, as he set forth on a spiritual odyssey. Crimes and Crimes (1899), from the beginning of his symbolist mode, is a lighter take on the themes in To Damascus I. The first of a two-part play, Dance of Death I (1900) depicts a dysfunctional marriage. A Dream Play (1901), which is one of Strindberg’s most influential, shows reality converted into a dream; many critics consider it his greatest play. In 1907, Strindberg founded the Intimate Theater in Stockholm; The Ghost Sonata (1907) and The Pelican (1907), which were written for its opening, are two examples of a chamber play, a genre that Strindberg helped to originate.","brand":"August Strindberg, Evert Sprinchorn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45902370832702,"sku":"9780816679744","price":824.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780816679744_8e25f6ec-aad1-4103-bac1-7aac792df63a.jpg?v=1707336963","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780816679744","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
