Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Red Room" by August Strindberg is a Swedish novel published in 1879. This biting satire follows Arvid Falk, a young civil servant who abandons bureaucracy to pursue journalism and writing. As he navigates Stockholm's social circles—politics, publishing, theatre, and business—he discovers layers of hypocrisy and corruption at every turn. He finds solace among a group of bohemians who gather in a red dining room to critique society. Widely considered the first modern Swedish novel, this work launched Strindberg to fame across Scandinavia.
