Johan August Strindberg, a Swede, wrote psychological realism of noted novels and plays, including Miss Julie (1888) and The Dance of Death (1901).
Johan August Strindberg painted. He alongside Henrik Ibsen, S酶ren Kierkegaard, Selma Lagerl枚f, Hans Christian Andersen, and Snorri Sturluson arguably most influenced of all famous Scandinavian authors. People know this father of modern theatre. His work falls into major literary movements of naturalism and expressionism. People widely read him internationally to this day.
What is with me and Swedish authors? I don't seem to like their works at all. It's the exact opposite from Swedish musicians. (I think Sabaton released a new song some days ago, I have to check this out 馃槉)
