This 1957 German-language edition is in great condition, with a striking, graphic cover that displays beautifully. In Ein Engel kommt nach Babylon (“An Angel Comes to Babylon”), Friedrich Dürrenmatt delivers a sharp, satirical play that blends humor, philosophy, and social critique. Set in an imagined version of ancient Babylon, the story follows a king, a beggar girl, and a divine intervention that upends ideas of power, justice, and wealth. Through absurd situations and witty dialogue, Dürrenmatt explores the unpredictability of fate and the flawed nature of human systems, turning what begins as a whimsical premise into a deeper reflection on morality and society.
