Claire Zachanassian returns as a billionaire to her impoverished home village of Güllen, where her former lover Alfred Ill once broke her heart and robbed her of her honor. Now she wants revenge and makes an immoral offer: "A billion for Güllen if someone kills Alfred Ill!"
An offer that the citizens indignantly reject. At first...
With the dry humor of the connoisseur of human nature and the profundity of the soul-searcher, the author raises the question of the morality of the individual and paints a picture of a society that threatens to defy all rules in comically abysmal scenes.
The Swiss playwright and author Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921 to 1990) is known for his critical, often satirical works. He studied philosophy and German language and literature in Zurich and Bern before devoting himself to writing. In his works, he dealt with moral issues, justice and the absurdity of human behavior. In addition to plays, he has written essays, radio plays and prose.
