The Inferno Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferno_(Strindberg_novel) Produced by Marc D'Hooghe "The Inferno" by August Strindberg is an autobiographical novel written in the late 19th century. This work delves into Strindberg's tumultuous emotional and intellectual journey as he navigates personal crises, intense inner conflict, and existential reflections. The narrative explores themes of love, ambition, suffering, and the pursuit of knowledge, primarily through the lens of its introspective protagonist, who struggles with the consequences of his choices and his complex relationships. At the start of "The Inferno," we witness the protagonist's emotional turmoil following a parting with his wife, which serves as a catalyst for his spiraling descent into isolation and despair. As he indulges in scientific experiments and grapples with feelings of guilt and regret, he reflects on his marital discord and the neglected love for his family. The opening reveals his fascination with chemistry and the painful sacrifices made in pursuit of knowledge, as well as the impending sense of doom that envelops him through haunting symbols and encounters in the streets of Paris. This deeply personal exploration sets the stage for the larger themes of the book, intertwining Strindberg's artistic ambition with his existential struggles.
