N2  - "Historiallisia pikakuvia" by August Strindberg is a collection of historical sketches written in the early 20th century. This work likely reflects on significant historical figures and moments, exploring their relevance and impact. The book opens with vivid scenes set in ancient Egypt, featuring characters such as Amram, a skilled craftsman, who navigates the complexities of his society while grappling with themes of faith, oppression, and the divine.  The opening of this collection introduces us to Amram, who works as a woodworker and ornament craftsman under Pharaoh's rule. As he engages in conversations with his neighbors and reflects on the state of the Nile River, we see the brewing tension of a society facing hardship. Encountering a former friend, Ruben, both discuss the secrets and mysteries of their faith and beliefs while contrasting their roles in a society that is beginning to show signs of turmoil. The narrative combines elements of dialogue and rich descriptions to set the stage for themes of hope and despair in the context of a people longing for liberation from bondage.
