"The Return of the Old Woman" is Dürrenmatt's famous work. It tells the story of the billionaire Lyle who returns to her hometown of Gulen after forty-five years and wants to spend one billion donations to kill her former lover, Il, who abandoned her and turned her into a prostitute. Her request was initially rejected by the Gulen people, but the temptation of money was too great, and the Gulen people finally had to give in before money. They collectively strangled El and "upheld justice" in exchange for the prosperity of the city. This book also includes the author's plays such as "Meteor".
