Dieses wichtige Buch von Durrenmatt muss jeder fleissiger Deutschschuler lesen. Man kann nicht besser als Durrenmatt schreiben.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Der Besuch der alten Dame (Paperback)
Before my purchase, i would have wanted to know that the book (plot), is a theatre piece, and not a novel!

5.0 out of 5 stars A most splendid book, August 22, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Der Besuch der alten Dame (Paperback)
I have studied this book with great interest as part of my further education studies in the German language. I was thrilled by the use of dramatic irony and symbolism to portray the many themes and morals throughout the play. This book was a ray of light in my otherwise dull life.
