Description

Fear and Misery in the Third Reich by Bertolt Brecht This collection of twenty-four interconnected playlets explores the ordinary lives of German citizens in the 1930s, as the power of Hitler grew. With clinical precision, Brecht dramatizes the suspicion and anxiety experienced by ordinary people, particularly those who were Jewish. Translated by John Willett, this volume is accompanied by an extensive introduction and commentary. The result is a unique insight into the beginnings of the Nazi regime, and a powerful portrayal of the human impact of totalitarianism. A valuable addition to any collection of modern drama, this edition of Brecht's work offers a thought-provoking and thought-prompting read.
