«El secreto de un hombre» is a collection of selected stories by Franz Werfel, published by Argos Vergara in paperback (217 pages, in Spanish).
This selection brings together three stories: the title piece, «La historia verídica de la cruz restaurada» and «El culpable no es el asesino sino la víctima». In them, Werfel addresses human cruelty and its moral paradoxes through situations of strong symbolic weight, with characters marked by secrets and contradictions.
Published in 1983; translation by Pilar Giralt Gorina. The German original, «Geheimnis eines Menschen», appeared in 1927.
Franz Viktor Werfel was a Czech novelist, playwright, and poet whose career spanned World War I, the Interwar period, and World War II. He is primarily known as the author of The Forty Days of Musa Dagh, a novel based on events that took place during the Armenian genocide of 1915, and The Song of Bernadette (1941), a novel about the life and visions of the French Catholic saint Bernadette Soubirous, which was made into a Hollywood film of the same name.
