Synopsis

""There Are Crimes And Crimes: A Comedy"" is a play written by the Swedish author August Strindberg in 1912. The story is set in Stockholm and follows the lives of two couples - The Captain and his wife, and The Lawyer and his wife. The Captain is a womanizer who is having an affair with The Lawyer's wife, while The Lawyer is having an affair with The Captain's wife. The play explores themes of adultery, jealousy, and revenge, while also satirizing the upper-class society of Stockholm. Strindberg uses humor and irony to highlight the absurdity of the characters' actions and the societal norms that allow them to behave in such a way. ""There Are Crimes And Crimes"" is considered one of Strindberg's most comedic works and is still performed today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
