The first biography to take Dürrenmatt’s entire life and work into account. ULRICH WEBER Ulrich Weber describes Dürrenmatt’s meteoric ascent, from his childhood as the son of a minister in rural Switzerland to becoming a world famous, bestselling author. He also depicts key moments — from forks in the road to dramatic ruptures — in Dürrenmatt’s life which prompted him to consistently reinvent himself. Newly discovered documents offer a completely new insight into the author’s
private life. FRIEDRICH DÜRRENMATT
