About this book

Zones of the Spirit is subtitled A Book of Thoughts and is by August Strindberg. The introduction says that seldom has a man gone through such profound religious changes as this Swede, who died last May. The contents list names pieces, among others, The Poet's Children, Faithful in Little Things, A Letter from the Dead and A Letter from Hell.

The text says that when a man writes a letter to an intimate friend, or to the woman he loves, he puts on his festive dress. The text describes a child who at three years old pronounced this opinion on the nurse: "Hannah is very nice, but she does not understand how to treat children." A teacher in the book says that it seems as though some errors were necessary and unavoidable, and that they appear as a kind of infectious virus.
