Service and selflessness are at the heart of this 1,500-year-old monastic tradition’s remarkable business success, an ancient though immensely relevant economic model that preserves what is positive and productive about capitalism while transcending its ethical limitations and internal contradictions.

The Swedish playwright August Strindberg was one of the founding fathers of naturalistic theater. A feature of many of his plays is the minute dissection of attitude and motivation by individuals within tightly bound groups. As in the present drama, such relentless inspection of behavior often has drastic consequences. Thekla, married to the needy Adolf, has a surprise encounter with her former husband, the lordly Gustav. Or is it really a surprise?

"The Red Room" (Swedish: "Röda rummet") is a satire of Stockholm society, it has frequently been described as the first modern Swedish novel. While receiving mixed reviews in Sweden, it was acclaimed in Denmark, where Strindberg was hailed as a genius. As a result of "The Red Room", Strindberg became famous throughout Scandinavia. Edvard Brandes wrote that it "makes the reader want to join the fight against hypocrisy and reaction".

Alcuni racconti sono apparsi per la prima volta in una rivista umoristica tedesca nel 1781, ma fu Rudolph Erich Raspe che li rielaborò in lingua inglese e li pubblicò qualche anno dopo.

Med strålende humor og sikker sagkundskab fortæller August Strindberg om dagligdag og fester blandt den stockholmske skærgårds ejendommelige befolkning. Det er praktiske, handlekraftige mennesker der nærmest opfatter kærligheden som en slags naturkraft og religionen som et udtryk for sæd og skik uden større indflydelse på deres liv.

Verserzählung aus dem Jahre 1771. Sich impfen (inokulieren) zu lassen war damals eine absolute Neuigkeit. Ein junger Adliger gibt sich als menschlicher Überträger für den Pockenvirus aus, um an die Küsse einer jungen Schönen zu kommen. Eine sehr witzige und ein wenig schlüpfrige Geschichte.

Ein Thüringischer Dorfpastor heiratet eine Kammerzofe. Mit Gott Armor in einer wichtigen Nebenrolle. Ein Bestseller seinerzeit, in mehrere Sprachen übersetzt. Wie bei den großen Epen Homers wird es in Gesängen vorgebracht und immer wieder die Muse angerufen. Hier freilich die "komische" Muse.
