Translated from German by Davit Kakabadze

 

Published in 1982, Bluebeard is the last literary classic by the famous Swiss novelist and playwright Max Frisch (1911-1991). With his novel the author returns to the motifs so familiar to his earlier works, such as: finding oneself, being captured within the boundaries created by those around us, the fault of a man in his relationships with a woman and the feeling of guilt.

 

Frisch’s novels Homo Faber and Gantenbein as well as some short stories and plays have been translated into Georgian.

 

“As for my Bluebeard: Schaad is unaware of what a crime means for him, and I believe today he is not the only one who doesn’t know this. Schaad is obsessed by the latent feelings of guilt. During the court trial he is accused of a crime which he has not committed. He knows that he is not a murderer, but nevertheless can’t claim being innocent... The most important thing for me in this, in a way terrifying book, is the relationship between the guilt and innocence in a case where the crime is not proven by actions. ... For this I chose an ordinary criminal law case, I did not want the attention of the reader to shift completely towards the case, because I was more interested not in the criminal case itself, but the techniques of searching for the truth, and used the court, as an example...” (From one of the interviews of Max Frisch.)
