THE STRONGER & OTHER SHORTS

By August Strindberg

Trans. Edwin Björkman; Edith & Wärner Oland

In The Stronger, two actresses go head to head, but are they rivals for more than just roles? Pariah delivers a duel of cunning between a tight-lipped traveler and an arch archaeologist who won’t stop digging. And in Facing Death, an old man and his daughters squabble over money and an absent mother.
