Bertolt Brecht Libros

Bertolt Brecht, es uno de los más grandes dramaturgos de la primera mitad de nuestro siglo. No tanto por su teoría y praxis del como por la capacidad de crear conflictos emblemáticos, en los cuales se expresan las figuras y los mitos principales de nuestro tiempo. También la obra del Brecht poeta", posiblemente de más calidad que la teatral, tiene sus raíces en el lenguaje dramático; y es por ello, con tanta frecuencia, monólogo, balada, lied. Pero es también choque de afirmaciones, dialéctica abreviada. Cuando más desnuda, común e injuriosamente es la palabra, más recibe la violencia de la iluminación a la que está sometida la capacidad de alcanzar la incandescencia. Poesía de muchas voces y afirmaciones (desde la áspera o trabada de la juventud a la martilleante y estridente de la madurez, pasando por los de los últimos años), vuelve la espalda a la tradición europea del último simbolismo y del surrealismo para asumir, tal y como B. dice, , y explora todas las posibilidades rítmicas que se alejen de la melodía.

The book explores the Paris Commune of 1871, highlighting its brief but impactful experiment in democracy and workers' governance. It includes Marx's address on the Commune, Lenin's reflections on its significance for building socialism, and Bertolt Brecht's poetic tribute. Additionally, it features the Manifesto of the Paris Commune's Federation of Artists, showcasing the cultural and political aspirations of the time. Together, these texts provide insights into revolutionary thought and the enduring legacy of the Commune in shaping socialist ideals.

The title is ironic - How to make war, like, Oh, what a lovely war! A large format picture book containing over eighty photographs of the Second World War, each with a four line poem by Brecht written as the events unrolled. This is the first publication in English of a major work by Brecht.

An intense and lively debate on literature and art between thinkers who became some of the great figures of twentieth-century philosophy and literature

Welcome to Mahagonny, where sin is 'in' and love is always on sale. This Old West boomtown rises from the desert to become a razzle-dazzle mecca for lust and the pursuit of pleasure, where cash is king and poverty is punishable by death

One of Bertolt Brecht's best-loved and most performed plays, The Threepenny Opera was first staged in 1928 at the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm, Berlin (now the home of the Berliner Ensemble). Based on the eighteenth-century The Beggar's Opera by John Gay, the play is a satire on the bourgeois society of the Weimar Republic, but set in a mock-Victorian Soho. With Kurt Weill's music, which was one of the earliest and most successful attempts to introduce the jazz idiom into the theatre, it became a popular hit throughout the western world. This new edition is published here in John Willett and Ralph Manhein's classic translation with commentary and notes by Anja Hartl.
