Murder

The complete book


M urder is not a novel, exactly. I call it a thought-book. I think about life, death, and the meaning of it all. Often, my thoughts are illustrated by anec­dotes, myths, or short stories, because reasoning alone is a tool with limited capacity - especially when it comes to the so-called eternal questions.
     The book was originally written in English, to avoid the serenity that the Swedish language tends to lead to automatically. A Swedish publisher talked me into translating it to Swedish, and it was published in Sweden in 1987. The English version was published in 2006, almost 20 years later. If you want to buy the printed version of the book, go here.

     I have also made a video filmed recital of the begin­ning of the book. Just click the image above to start it.
     Anyway, it's all here, divided into as many web­pages as it has got chapters, all of them conveniently short.
     You can start reading any of those chapters, but I do believe you will get more out of them, if you follow the conventional order. Enjoy.
Stefan Stenudd

Murder
Murder

  1. THIS WORLD is, I find, a strange place to be, wherein my brain is not the best of guides...

  2. NOT ONLY the center of the onion is empty. Practically everything is...

  3. IN THIS WORLD of contradiction and confusion, murder is something quite substantial...

  4. I WONDER what it's like to be murdered...

  5. SOME PEOPLE DIE, and really live to tell about it...

  6. PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN to a short visit in that mysterious beyond, return with the impression that there is one firm rule...

  7. A YOUNG FRIEND of mine had another way of treating his life disrespectfully...

  8. MAYBE MURDER IS, in essence, an act of revolt against the Gods...

  9. MURDER IS AN EXPRESSION of power, ultimate power...

  10. FOR SOME REASON, I have the impression that it's mostly the good guys who are willing to comply and die...

  11. THE INDIANS TREATED LIFE much more demandingly than we tend to do...

  12. SOME KINDS OF SUICIDE I find very sympathetic...

  13. ANOTHER KIND of socially sanctioned murder than the execution, and much more efficient, is war...

  14. SOMEBODY I KNOW had an accident when he was about twenty years old...

  15. MOST CERTAINLY an ignorant hypothesis, nevertheless lucrative, is the idea of a universe without Gods...

  16. THE PROBLEM OF PEACE is somewhat similar to that of Heaven and Hell...

  17. THE INTRICATE BIOLOGICAL MACHINERY of man really allows for a longevity we hardly reach...
