Summary "Keikari sekä muita kertomuksia" by August Strindberg is a collection of stories written in the early 20th century. The book explores various aspects of human experiences, often focusing on characters who navigate societal expectations and personal struggles. The protagonist in the opening story, "Keikari," is a young man who grapples with his identity and self-worth—feeling out of place among his peers due to his unusual name and upbringing. The opening of the collection introduces us to the story "Keikari," where we meet a young man born to a well-to-do family who is burdened by his father's expectations and societal perceptions. As he attempts to integrate into university life, he faces ridicule and exclusion from his peers due to his mannerisms and the misconceptions surrounding his name. The narrative delves into the social dynamics of student life, highlighting his awkward attempts to fit in, the absurdity of social interactions, and the feelings of isolation that ensue. The character's journey sets the tone for the subsequent tales, each likely reflecting Strindberg's keen insights into human nature and societal norms. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
