The Road to Damascus, a Trilogy by August Strindberg

"The Road to Damascus, a Trilogy" by August Strindberg is a trilogy of plays published between 1898 and 1904. The first part follows a protagonist called The Stranger through seven stations on his way to an asylum, then back through each in reverse order to his starting point. This circular, palindromic structure creates what critics call "I-dramaturgy," where all other characters appear only through the hero's perspective. The work synthesizes myths, symbols, and ideas into a profound spiritual analysis in a revolutionary dramatic form. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
