«Andorra: Stück in zwölf Bildern» is the play by Max Frisch, published by Suhrkamp in paperback (126 pages, in German).
Andri, a young man in the imaginary country of Andorra, is singled out by his community as a Jew. The play shows how others' prejudices and social pressure end up shaping his identity, until the boy assumes as his own the fate imposed on him. An allegory about collective responsibility, prejudice, and scapegoats.
The play was originally published in 1961; this 1976 edition belongs to the Suhrkamp Taschenbuch collection (no. 277).
Commonly read in school contexts and among those interested in theatre, German literature, and classic twentieth-century fiction.
Max Rudolf Frisch was a Swiss playwright and novelist. Frisch's works focused on problems of identity, individuality, responsibility, morality, and political commitment. The use of irony is a significant feature of his post-war output. Frisch was one of the founders of Gruppe Olten. He was awarded the 1965 Jerusalem Prize, the 1973 Grand Schiller Prize, and the 1986 Neustadt International Prize for Literature.
