Résumé : The narrator of The Inferno—ostensibly August Strindberg himself—has not had an easy recent past, and a move to Paris is not helping. As his mania overtakes his ability to function in the society of artists, writers, scientists and philosophers he'd like to be part of, he turns to more unconventional methods to help make sense of his world. Written in diary form, The Inferno is a semi-autobiographical work that blends self-deprecating humour with a whirl of neurosis and attempted rationalisation. The novel, with a certain amount of exaggeration for literary effect, charts two years of Strindberg's life in the 1890s. Presented here is Claud Field's 1913 translation from the original French.
Biographie : Johan August Strindberg est né et mort à Stockholm (22 janvier 1849 - 14 mai 1912). Sa vie compliquée, son oeuvre multiple et gigantesque, l'influence majeure qu'il a exercée sur la littérature mondiale (de Kafka à Adamov, en passant par Pirandello), le place au niveau des plus grands. Voir l'essai biographique que lui a consacré Elena Balzamo, [August Strindberg, Visages et destin->426].
