August Strindberg died today – 95 years ago

August Strindberg, born on January 22, 1849, died on May 14, 1912. He was a Swedish writer. I’ve never read anything he wrote, except a few quotations on the internet. (I guess that doesn’t count.) I have never been to Sweden, although I’d like to see it. According to pictures, the landscape is very beautiful – if you like fresh, cold water, soaring mountains, and winding fiords. I have been close to Sweden. I visited København (we call it Copenhagen) in Denmark. It was very beautiful. I’d like to go back.
