Brecht and Co.: Sex, Politics, and the Making of the Modern Drama: Grove Great Lives

Autor John Fuegi
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2002
The result of twenty-five years of research on three continents, Brecht and Company is a revolutionary portrait of one of the world's greatest theater artists -- and the people upon whom he built his reputation. A noted Brecht scholar, John Fuegi traces the evolution of Brecht's parasitic relationships and aggressive ambition through close analysis of diaries, letters, and drafts of the literary works, revealing a man who was personally dazzling, a genius at assembling and directing the plays created in his workshop, but ultimately lacking in literary stamina, for which he depended on his lovers. A landmark study about the life and times of one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century theater, Brecht & Co. will forever change our understanding of Brecht and his oeuvre.
