Sur le mariage, sur la vie conjugale, sur l'amour et ses désillusions, sur les fortunes et les infortunes des couples, voici l'œuvre la plus fameuse de Strindberg : trente récits et nouvelles publiés entre 1884 et 1886 critiquant violemment les institutions - le mariage, la religion - mais aussi l'émancipation de la femme qui connaît de nettes avancées dans cette Europe du XXe siècle. Ce livre sulfureux - alternance de textes profondément misogynes et d'autres plus tendres, de récits désespérés et d'autres pleins d'une allégresse féroce - valut une assignation devant les tribunaux à son auteur qui ne regrettait rien : "C'est ce que j'ai écrit de plus terrible, mais aussi de plus beau, de plus drôle et de plus salaud !"
