By August Strindberg

En dåres försvarstal – som Strindberg skrev på franska 1887-88 när äktenskapet med Siri von Essen råkat in i en svår kris – är en av de stora kärleksromanerna i svensk litteratur. Den är på en och samma gång en hänsynslös och hatisk uppgörelse med hustrun och en avancerad naturalistisk, psykologisk roman, som har släktskap med klassisk fransk romankonst.

Romanen vållade skandal i Sverige trots att Strindberg aldrig gav ut den på svenska. Den utnämndes until "den hemskaste bok som Strindberg och följaktligen någon svensk författare någonsin skrivit" males också until eventually "en av de märkvärdigaste romanerna i den nyare europeiska litteraturen".

Denna utgåva bygger på volym 25 i Nationalupplagan av August Strindbergs Samlade Verk. Ordförklaringar ingår och professor Gunnel Engwall har skrivit ett efterord. För denna utgåva har Märta Tikkanen dessutom skrivit ett nytt förord.
