Description: An historic publication in which the legendary German poet and dramatist emerges, quite like Goethe, as a poet driven by Eros.
Brief description: Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956) was a German poet, playwright, and theater director. In those capacities, and also as a polemical essayist, he contributed powerfully to the chief literary and political debates of his day, and lastingly influenced theatrical theory and practice. He left more than 2,000 poems, assuring him a place among the very best lyric poets of Germany.
Review Quotes: Brecht often uses his poetry to persuade, seduce; it's never sexist, just earthy and alive...The translators are to be thanked for bringing attention to these otherwise forgotten gems, both naughty and nice.--Tom Lavoie "Shelf Awareness"
