«Le Visiteur» is the play by Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt, published by Magnard in paperback in 2002 (144 pages, in French).
In occupied Vienna in June 1938, Sigmund Freud, old, sick and persecuted, receives an enigmatic visitor who might be an incarnation of God. The verbal duel between the old disbeliever and that spiritual, manipulative figure has undertones of intrigue and raises questions such as the origin of evil or the conflict between reason and intuition.
It is part of Magnard's «Classiques & contemporains» collection, with complete text and commentary by Catherine Casin-pellegrini. The play won the Molière Award for theatrical revelation in 1994.
Designed for French high school students studying theater and argumentation.
Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt is a Franco-Belgian playwright, short story writer and novelist, as well as a film director. His plays have been staged in over fifty countries all over the world.
