«Justicia» is the mystery novel by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, published by Quinteto in paperback (214 pages, in Spanish).
A cantonal councillor is sentenced to twenty years in prison for killing a teacher in front of numerous witnesses, but the statements contradict each other, the weapon never appears, and no one confesses to the facts. The case becomes a labyrinth of enigmas where logic falters and justice ends up seeming like a farce.
The novel was originally published in 1985 under the title «Justiz» and was translated into Spanish by Juan José del Solar; it won the Mondello Prize in 1986.
A read for fans of crime and mystery fiction and of twentieth-century German literature classics.
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.
