This book is the result of Dürrenmatt trip to Israel in 1974 and is dedicated to the Arab-Israeli conflict - a topic that is no less relevant today than thirty-five years ago. It is a reflection Dürrenmatt about world religions and history of their development. Experience gained in Israel, has turned the inner world of the famous playwright. Returning home, he admits: "... it is difficult to imagine that I myself once wrote a play, all wrote, and that in fact you can re-write." In the USSR, the book for obvious reasons could not get out, and now published in Russian for the first time.
