Max Frisch (Schriftsteller)

    Max Frisch, one of the 20th century's most influential Swiss writers, is celebrated for novels and plays that delve into the search for and loss of identity in modern society. His works frequently explore themes of guilt and innocence, juxtaposing technological omnipotence with fate, and critically examining Switzerland's idealized self-image. Frisch's distinctive style, marked by irony and sharp psychological insight, reflects his own ambivalent relationship with conservative media and his engagement with the political issues of his time. His writing prompts readers to contemplate the complexities of human existence and societal illusions.
