Description

The Caucasian Chalk Circle by Bertolt Brecht Written in exile during World War II, this play subverts an ancient Chinese tale to convey a powerful message about resource allocation. A rascally judge named Azdak ensures that the child is entrusted to Grusha, a peasant who has lovingly cared for it. This edition of Brecht's Modern Classics series features an extensive introduction, the playwright's own notes on the play, and a full appendix of textual variants. It presents the standard critical edition of the work in an acclaimed translation by James and Tania Stern with W.H. Auden. With its thought-provoking themes and vivid characters, this book offers insight into Brecht's unique vision and artistic style.
