Abstract

en_US "Here is a little curiosity. Strindberg is known outside Sweden primarily as a playwright. I find one copy available on abe, where it is listed as published in 1930. The dealer there aptly describes the book in these terms: "Pappband, Frakturschrift." I would describe the contents as eight short stories, listed in the T of C at the end of the book. I read the shortest of them: "Schamhaftigkeit und Kälte." It is a funny fable, if a bit long at a page and a quarter, of a mother ptarmigan ("Schneehuhn") who is incensed over her son's report that birds down in the valley are showing their legs! Mother goes down to get clarity and comes upon a flock of partridges who have just arrived from the south. They are all showing bare legs! She insults them and tells them to go back home with their immodesty. They answer her: "You wear pants not out of a sense of shame or modesty but because it is cold!""
