This is a short novel in which Strindberg's major themes are covered very well with an almost tolerable dose of his misogynism (he went through three ugly divorces and some affairs). But the story itself is beautiful and reveals some of his characteristic criticisms of society.

An 1887 novel by August Strindberg about the life of people of the island Hemsö in the Stockholm archipelago. Hemsö is a fictional island, but it is based on Kymmendö where Strindberg had spent time in his youth.
