Pariah is a novel written by the Swedish playwright and author, August Strindberg. Originally published in 1889, it is a story that explores the themes of love, jealousy, and betrayal. The main character, Gustav, is a young man who is deeply in love with a woman named Laura. However, Laura is already engaged to another man, and Gustav's love for her becomes obsessive and all-consuming. As Gustav tries to win Laura's heart, he becomes increasingly jealous of her fianc����� and begins to plot against him. His actions lead to a series of tragic events that ultimately leave Gustav as a social outcast, rejected by both Laura and society at large. Through Gustav's story, Strindberg delves into the complexities of human relationships and the destructive power of jealousy and obsession. The novel is written in a poetic and introspective style, with vivid descriptions of the characters' emotional states and inner turmoil. Pariah is considered one of Strindberg's most important works and a masterpiece of Swedish literature. It is a haunting and powerful novel that continues to resonate with readers today.MR. X. That, too, perhaps. But don't you think an intelligent fellow like myself might fix matters so that he was never found out? I am alone all the time--with nobody watching me--while I am digging out there in the fields. It wouldn't be strange if I put something in my own pockets now and then.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
