«Andorra» is a play in twelve scenes by Swiss writer Max Frisch, published by Suhrkamp Verlag in paperback (127 pages, in German).
In the imaginary country of Andorra, the community treats Andri, a young man educated there, as a stranger singled out as a Jew. Under that pressure, Andri ends up internalizing the identity imposed on him. Frisch thus denounces prejudice, conformism, and the ease with which society manufactures scapegoats.
The work appeared as a book in 1961; the present 1975 edition belongs to the Suhrkamp Taschenbuch collection (volume 277).
Common reading in educational institutions; suitable for students of German literature and for those interested in twentieth-century theater.
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.
