«Justicia» is the crime thriller novel by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, published by FisicalBook in paperback (194 pages, in Spanish).
A cantonal councillor kills a teacher in a restaurant and is sentenced to twenty years. He asks a young lawyer to review his case starting from his innocence; the witnesses contradict each other, the gun is missing, and there is no motive. Truth and lies become confused, and justice seems a farce.
Originally published as «Justiz»; this Spanish edition includes a translation by Juan José del Solar and illustrations by Tomi Ungerer. Mondello Prize (Autore Straniero, 1986).
Recommended for readers of crime fiction and contemporary fiction who appreciate the social satire of a twentieth-century Swiss classic.
Friedrich Dürrenmatt was a Swiss author and dramatist. He was a proponent of epic theatre whose plays reflected the recent experiences of World War II. The politically active author's work included avant-garde dramas, philosophical crime novels, and macabre satire. Dürrenmatt was a member of the Gruppe Olten, a group of left-wing Swiss writers who convened regularly at a restaurant in the city of Olten.
