Max Frisch
"I'm Not Stiller" started with a print-run that provided for sales of 3,000 in its first year, but thanks to strong and growing reader demand it later became the first book published by Suhrkamp to top one million copies. The next novel, "Homo Faber", was another best seller, with four million copies of the German language version produced by 1998. "The Fire Raisers" and "Andorra" are the most successful German language plays of all time, with respectively 250 and 230 productions up till 1996, according to an estimate made by the literary critic Volker Hage. The two plays, along with "Homo Faber" became curriculum favourites with schools in the German-speaking middle European countries. Apart from a few early works, most of Frisch's books and plays have been translated into around ten languages, while the most translated of all, "Homo Faber", has been translated into twenty-five languages.
Krindlekrax
The script was published the same year by Faber and Faber. However the text became out of print due to Ridley leaving Faber and Faber in 2005 as a result of their refusal to publish his controversial stage play for adults "Mercury Fur". Because of this Ridley then moved along with his back catalogue of plays to Methuen Drama, where many of them were republished, but not "Krindlekrax". On 23 September 2016 Samuel French Ltd. announced on their Twitter page that 17 of Ridley's plays had been added to their catalogue to purchase performance rights to. Amongst the plays were "Kridlekrax", the script of which has been republished by Samuel French in an "acting edition", after many years of being out of print.
