The Judge and His Hangman
The Judge and His Hangman
Today I finished my first book written in German and I tremendously enjoyed it. It was written by Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921 – 1990), a Swiss author and dramatist, and set in places I have been numerous times, for a change.
What I liked most about it are the descriptions; how a writer through his words can lead you to contemplate details which we usually neglect, because they are details. But precisely, along the pages they slowly form the big picture, like the pieces of a puzzle. Several movies have been made on this story but I can't image how I couldn't be disappointed with everything which would inevitably get lost in the conversion.

Thus, after French and English, I now feel ready to access the cultural work of all natives of this language, and there were many. I think I will now celebrate the moment, and right after I will read his other books. :-)
