๐Ÿ“– Full Story Description

The Red Room (1879) is one of August Strindberg’s most influential works and is often considered the first modern Swedish novel. It follows Arvid Falk, a young civil servant who abandons government bureaucracy to seek truth as a writer — only to discover deeper corruption and hypocrisy within publishing, politics, philanthropy, theatre, and finance. He eventually finds refuge among a circle of bohemian thinkers who gather in the Red Room of Berns Salonger, where they expose the absurdities and moral failures of contemporary Swedish society. This satirical novel remains a powerful critique of institutions and human nature. 0:00:00 01 - A Bird's-Eye View of Stockholm 0:29:34 02 - Between Brothers 0:47:39 03 - The Artists' Colony 1:14:23 04 - Master and Dogs 1:55:29 05 - At the Publisher's 2:17:29 06 - The Red Room 2:48:44 07 - The Imitation of Christ 3:02:35 08 - Poor Mother Country 3:27:01 09 - Bills of Exchange 3:38:02 10 - The Newspaper Syndicate 'Grey Bonnet' 4:01:31 11 - Happy People 4:23:39 12 - Marine Insurance Society 'Triton' 4:44:07 13 - Divine Ordinance 5:03:50 14 - Absinth 5:28:06 15 - The Theatrical Company 'Phoenix' 5:51:42 16 - In the White Mountains 6:18:22 17 - Natura.... 6:24:02 18 - Nihilism 6:44:18 19 - From Churchyard to Public-House 7:08:03 20 - On the Altar 7:16:24 21 - A Soul Overboard 7:27:31 22 - Hard Times 7:39:42 23 - Audiences 7:50:28 24 - On Sweden 8:24:29 25 - Checkmate 8:53:53 26 - Correspondence 9:10:04 27 - Recovery 9:19:11 28 - From Beyond the Grave 9:37:08 29 - Revue 9:55:39 30 - Epilogue ๐Ÿ“Œ About This Audiobook Author: August Strindberg (1849–1912) Translator: Ellie Schleussner Genre: Satire, General Fiction Source Text: Project Gutenberg (Public Domain) Audio: LibriVox Recordings Production: ClassicWorldStories ๐Ÿ“Œ Summary of Themes Bureaucratic absurdity Corruption behind public institutions Hypocrisy in philanthropy and art circles Rise of modern journalism Bohemian rebellion against society ⚠ Viewer Notes For best experience, use headphones and watch in a quiet environment. #the red room #august strindberg #classic audiobook #satire novel #swedish literature #public domain fiction #classicworldstories ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Content Sources & Copyright: All audiobooks on this channel are sourced from either Project Gutenberg (for texts) or LibriVox.org (for audio recordings), both dedicated to making classic literature accessible.
