The book tells the story of a young couple, Edgar and Alice, who have been married for a year and are struggling to maintain their relationship. Edgar is a struggling artist who is unable to support his wife financially, while Alice is a young woman who is bored with her life and feels trapped in her marriage.As the story progresses, the couple's relationship becomes increasingly strained, and they begin to drift apart. Edgar becomes increasingly jealous and paranoid, while Alice becomes increasingly distant and uninterested in her husband. The couple's problems are exacerbated by the arrival of a mysterious stranger, who seems to have a strange hold over Alice.Married by Strindberg is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of marriage and relationships. Strindberg's writing is characterised by its psychological depth and its ability to capture the complexities of human emotion. The novel is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the intricacies of human relationships and the challenges of maintaining a successful marriage.Higher and higher rose the swing, until it struck the topmost branches of the maple. The girl screamed and fell forward, into his arms; he was pushed over, on to the seat. The trembling of the soft warm body which nestled closely in his arms, sent an electric shock through his whole nervous system; a black veil descended before his eyes and he would have let her go if her left shoulder had not been tightly pressed against his right arm.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
