abstract="Stories about the engineer's suicide due to an apparent blunder he committed in the construction of a tunnel have been recorded in the Alps as well as in Georgia. In both regions, the contents are similar: the tunnel is constructed from both sides; the two tunnels apparently fail to meet; the engineer commits suicide; the two tunnels meet belatedly; the cause of the delay is explained. In the Caucasus, the story seems to have already been known in the nineteenth century; it has been revived in the period of Stalinist repression (1937-39) which gave rise to a change in the motivation for the suicide. © Walter de Gruyter Berlin · Boston.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
