 Two Plays By Bertolt Brecht
PR: 3
Two Plays By Bertolt Brecht. Brecht, Bertolt. Meridian Books. Softcover. Two Plays By Bertolt Brecht. Bertolt Brecht stands as one of the towering figures of twentieth-century theater, both as a playwright, and as a theorist whose approach to dramatic form and function has been a major influence on the host of writers who have followed him. The two plays in this volume represent Brecht at his most brilliant. Both are set in faraway realms of the imagination - The Good Woman of Setzuan in a remote Chinese city and The Caucasian Chalk Circle in a long-ago Caucasian province - yet both are designed to point out with telling accuracy the very imperfections of our social order and the dilemmas of our human condition. Clothing his didactic purpose in dazzling wit and fablelike enchantment, Brecht succeeds magnificently in instruction, art, and life. 233 pages.. 9780452010550. 0452010551. 233pag. xx.Ingles (English). |
