The Caucasian Chalk Circle de Bertolt Brecht

The Caucasian Chalk Circle: Modern Classics

Autor Bertolt Brecht Editat de John Willett, Ralph Manheim Traducere de James Stern, Tania Stern, W. H. Auden
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 ian 2009
Written in exile during the Second World War, the story subverts an ancient Chinese tale - echoed in the Judgement of Solomon - in which two women claim the same child. The message of Brecht's parable is that resources should go to those who will make best use of them. Thanks to the rascally judge, Azdak, one of Brecht's most vivid creations, this story has a happy outcome: the child is entrusted to the peasant Grusha, who has loved and nurtured it.

Recenzii

'an adept new translation by Alistair Beaton'
'The Caucasian Chalk Circle, written in 1944 while he was in exile from Germany, gives some epic illumination to socialist ideas about ownership and injustice. But more than that it's a story about love winning out over endemic corruption'
The play is translated, with political wit and crisp clarity, by Alistair Beaton . . . The result is a Chalk Circle which makes an unarguable case for the continued relevance both of Brecht's theatrical aesthetics and his allegorical subject matter.
Alistair Beaton's sharp rhythmic translation finds a contemporary relevance too, but not intrusively so.
