action
The person of the “cracked gallows rope”, the main character in the deep story of the Austrian-US-American author Franz Werfel (1890–1945), deserves this name in two ways: on the one hand, literally, because the shrewd grinder was lucky enough to have the rope of the Galgens really tore when he was already firmly around his neck, on the other hand, because the multiple murderer feels very well that he can serve something better than a deterrent under the Franco regime in Spain. He ruthlessly uses the chance he is given in this regard. Franz Werfel also characterized his play as a documentary legend from the Spanish struggle for freedom .
