This play in three acts is one of the most noted by the great Norwegian dramatist, and the translation by Edith and Warner Oland is generally considered the best. Warner Oland is remembered by millions of movie fans as the famous Charlie Chan, but he was also a dis-tinguished linguist and translator of Scandinavian literature, especially of works by Au-gust Strindberg. The powerful cover was designed by Karl Eldh after a statue of Strindberg himself. The Father is another classic of world literature which Mr. Edmund Brown put together in his famous series known as IPL, International Pocket Library.

August Strindberg (1849-1912) is best-known for his misogyny and as the author of Miss Julie (1889). His first success came as a novelist and autobiographer. His plays (and he wrote over sixty) were deeply controversial in their time and still are to some extent. They range form bold naturalism (e.g. The father, 1887) to an entralling expressionism (e.g. The Ghost Sonata, 1907). Mike Poulton has a string of successful translations and adaptations to his name, most notably Turgenev's "Fortune's Fool" (which won a Tony Award) and Schiller's "Don Carlos", which played for several months in the West End earlier in the year.
