Description

Beginning each section with a short introductory essay summarizing Brecht's thought in the relevant year, this volume contains new translations to extend our image of one of the 20th century's most entertaining and thought-provoking writers on culture, aesthetics and politics. Here are a cross-section of Brecht's wide-ranging thoughts which offer us a window onto the concerns of a modern world in four decades of economic and political disorder. The book is designed to give wider access to the experience of a dynamic intellect, radically engaged with social, political and cultural processes.
