Pär Lagerkvist “Father and I” 1954

Pär Lagerkvist Name: Pär Lagerkvist (1891-1974) Place of Birth: Sweden Genre: Poetry, drama, novels, stories, essays Type: Existentialism and cubism Awards: Nobel Prize in Literature Major Works: Ångest (Angst) Barabbas Evil Tales (starts with “Father and I”) Themes: The fundamental question of good and evil Endless darkness and the responsibility of a person to save himself/herself, not as an immortal soul but as a vitally mortal self

Background: Society and Culture The twentieth century introduces a cultural period in which individuals not only reject the past but also question the very basis of knowledge and consider the possibility that knowledge and concepts once thought to be fixed and objective are instead constantly shifting and subjective. Philosophers and thinkers such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Henri Bergson, Karl Marx, and Sigmund Freud challenged nineteenth-century science and the positivist confidence in its ability to explain both the physical and social worlds in completely rational terms. World War I had a powerful impact in its aftermath, causing Europeans to reconsider their very belief systems and leading to widespread dissatisfaction with the authorities who, many believed, were motivated by greed, class exploitation, and hunger for power. New studies in the relationship between reality and appearance led to the philosophy of existentialism.
