Overview

""My eyes being set on her to whom my mind Was altogether subject and in prison: "" (Dante, Commedia, Purgatory, Canto XVIII) Johan's relationship with Cecilia was built on a shared political faith with its roots in the student rebellion of 1968 and the protest movement against the Vietnam War. But he loses his faith and without it, they were just two people living together in an equally dull and modern working-class suburb. He resumes his studies while working night-shifts at a big Stockholm newspaper. Cecilia starts dreaming of starting a family and having a child, but Johan falls in love with another woman who however rejects his feelings, sending him out on a long wandering through his personal Purgatory. Then his father dies, deepening his crisis. He leaves Cecilia and moves in with his mother to support her. He drops out of politics and tries to focus on his studies, but his mind flutters. This is also the year when he turns 30, a number that scares him. A third of his life has passed. What is he going to do with the remaining two thirds? He is stuck. This is the first part of the novel Love and Revolution which follows a young man over two decades as he searches for true love and a meaningful life.
