«No soy Stiller» is the novel by Max Frisch, published by Planeta in hardcover (438 pages, in Spanish).
A man is arrested in Switzerland accused of being Stiller, a citizen who disappeared years earlier in Zurich. He insists his name is Mr. White and that he is American, but he must write a diary for his defense while witnesses who recognize him file past. The novel explores identity, alienation and the weight of the past, with irony towards Swiss society.
Edition from the Clásicos Contemporáneos Internacionales collection (vol. IX), with translation by Margarita Fontseré; this novel was originally published as «Stiller» in 1954.
For readers seeking 20th-century European classics with a philosophical undertone.
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.
