Translated by Claud Field

The Son of a Servant, published in 1886 by August Strindberg, is an autobiographical novel that explores the author's tumultuous childhood in Sweden. The narrative follows John, the son of a shipping agent and a servant-maid, as he navigates a life marked by poverty, neglect, and emotional insecurity, heavily influenced by his grandmother's religious fanaticism. This work is notable for its vivid portrayal of family dynamics and social hierarchies, reflecting Strindberg's own struggles and formative experiences. An English translation by Claud Field was released in 1913.
