The Red Room by August Strindberg (published in 1879) is often regarded as the first modern Swedish novel. It follows Arvid Falk, a young idealist who leaves his secure government job to pursue truth and freedom as a journalist and writer. As he moves through various parts of Stockholm society-politics, business, art, and journalism-he becomes disillusioned by the widespread corruption, hypocrisy, and greed he encounters.The 'Red Room,' a café where intellectuals and artists gather to discuss ideas, symbolizes both hope and futility-the dream of reform that rarely becomes reality. The novel is a biting satire of bourgeois society, exposing its moral decay while exploring the struggles of individuals who seek honesty and justice in a corrupt world.
