Inferno is an autobiographical novel by August Strindberg, originally published in Swedish in 1897. This intensely personal work details Strindberg's experiences during a period of mental and spiritual crisis in the mid-1890s, a time he referred to as his Inferno crisis. The novel blends elements of autobiography, symbolism, and occultism to explore themes of madness, paranoia, and religious questioning.
Set primarily in Paris and Austria, the narrative follows Strindberg's descent into psychological turmoil, marked by feelings of persecution and encounters with the supernatural. Inferno is a key work in understanding Strindberg's complex psyche and his contribution to modernist literature. It remains a powerful and disturbing exploration of the boundaries between reality and madness, and a significant example of fin-de-siècle angst.
