( ) Reminded me of what I recall about Twain's Corruption of Hadleyburg. Love the author's notes at the end about avoiding finding huge metaphors and symbolism. I was a bit dissapointed by the ending, thought the buying of the towns assets would come into play. But caught up in the story and how greed corrupts and a little frightening how I could begin to justify the loss of a life for comfort. Felt very European, which was a nice change from my usual reads. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

In The Visit (original title Der Besuch der alten Dame), Claire Zachanassian, now a multimillion heiress and an older woman, returns to the impoverished town of her youth with a dreadful bargain: in exchange for returning the town to prosperity through her vast wealth, she wants the townspeople to kill the man who jilted her. From its subtle exploration of parochial politics to its horrific climax, The Visit shows a population willing to sacrifice loyalty and scruples in the pursuit of riches. It is a drama of the absurd that reduces human nature to its most ridiculous depths. Dürrenmatt was one of the most important figures of modern European drama and The Visit remains both a powerful critique of twentieth century civilisation and an outstanding piece of experimental theatre.
