Author and Work

Max Frisch (1911–1991) was a Swiss playwright and novelist whose work explores themes of identity, freedom, and moral responsibility. This title appears to be a Persian translation of one of Frisch’s works, though the exact edition cannot be verified here.

Likely Correspondence

Based on the title’s structure and Frisch’s major theatrical works, this likely corresponds to Biedermann und die Brandstifter (1958), known in English as Biedermann and the Arsonists. Frisch’s plays frequently examine how ordinary people accommodate danger, compromise their values, and become complicit in destructive events. This play in particular uses a satirical, parable-like approach, inviting audiences to confront uncomfortable truths about complicity and self-deception.

Without access to the specific edition listed, readers seeking this work in translation should verify the publisher and date to confirm which Frisch text is contained within.
