Sinopse

In "Married," August Strindberg immerses readers in the tumultuous landscape of interpersonal relationships, crafting a narrative that unveils the complexities of marriage through a blend of realism and modernist sensibilities. Written in Strindberg's signature incisive prose, the novel navigates themes of love, power dynamics, and existential despair within the confines of domestic life. Through his vivid character portrayals and psychological depth, Strindberg critiques bourgeois values and illustrates the sometimes inescapable discontent found within intimate partnerships, making this work resonate within the literary context of the late 19th century. August Strindberg, a pivotal figure in Swedish literature, is renowned for his exploration of human psychology and social issues, often drawn from his own tumultuous life experiences. His tumultuous marriages and personal struggles with gender roles and identity provided fertile ground for the emotional intensity found in "Married." Strindberg's innovative approach to drama and narrative, coupled with his philosophical ponderings, reflects a quest to understand the very nature of human relationships, making this novel a cornerstone of his literary oeuvre. For readers delving into the intricacies of human relationships and the inherent tensions within marriage, "Married" serves as a compelling and thought-provoking exploration. Strindberg's incisive character studies and unflinching examination of societal norms invite readers to reflect on their own notions of love and partnership, rendering this work an essential read for those interested in the intersections of psychology, sociology, and modernist literature.

The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is a collection of quatrains (four-line verses) attributed to the 12th-century Persian poet, mathematician, and astronomer, Omar Khayyam. While the original Persian text is complex and open to interpretation, it is the English translation by Edward Fitzgerald that popularized the work in the Western world. 
Fitzgerald's translation portrays a world view that is often characterized as: 
Carpe Diem: Seize the day, emphasizing the fleeting nature of life and the importance of enjoying the present moment. 
Skepticism: Questioning traditional beliefs and religious dogma, particularly in relation to the afterlife. 
Epicureanism: Focusing on pleasure and the senses as the primary goods in life. 
Fatalism: Accepting one's fate and the inherent unpredictability of existence.
