Book Overview

Debit and Credit is a novel by the Swedish playwright and author August Strindberg. Originally published in 1890, the book tells the story of a young man named Arvid Falk, who is struggling to make a living as a freelance writer in Stockholm. Arvid is deeply in debt, and he is forced to rely on the financial support of his wealthy friend, the businessman Gustav Borg.As Arvid becomes more and more dependent on Gustav, he begins to feel trapped in a cycle of debt and obligation. He also becomes increasingly disillusioned with the world around him, as he witnesses the corruption and hypocrisy of the upper classes in Swedish society.Throughout the novel, Strindberg uses Arvid's experiences to explore themes of class, money, and morality. He also delves into the psychology of debt and the ways in which it can affect people's lives and relationships.Debit and Credit is considered one of Strindberg's most important works, and it has been praised for its vivid portrayal of turn-of-the-century Stockholm and its incisive critique of the social and economic structures of the time.THIS 32 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Plays of August Strindberg Third Series, by August Strindberg.
