THE WAGON ON THE WAY TO AUSCHWITZ

Paperback115 pagina’sEngels
'The Wagon, a three-act drama by playwright Alain Saint-Saëns, is a theatrical contribution to the well-known theme of the “Shoah,” the Jewish genocide perpetrated by the Nazis. Its novelty lies not so much in the drama’s style, but in the temporary location of the dramatic action, just before a group of Jews arrive by train at Auschwitz concentration camp, which allows the anticipation of the outcome. Thus, the tragic end that awaits descendants of Abraham, known by every reader, is presented surprisingly before, being the executor one of their own, which puts the reader in the presence of an anticipated catharsis of the Hobbesian horror of which is capable human nature: man is a predator to man.' Borja Javier Ormazábal Hernández (Universidad Complutense, Madrid, Spain).
