Description
The Caucasian Chalk Circle is a powerful parable about class and priorities, written by Bertolt Brecht at the end of World War II. Set in the Caucasus mountains of Georgia, the story retells the tale of a child claimed by two mothers, drawing a metaphorical chalk circle around a society misdirected in its values.
Brecht's play is a fable that whispers insistently to the audience, making statements about class that are both subtle and thought-provoking. With its unique blend of simplicity and depth, The Caucasian Chalk Circle is a thought-provoking work of drama that invites readers to reflect on their own values and priorities.
First published in 2007, this edition is part of Penguin's collection of literary classics. With 104 pages and a paperback binding, this is a compact and accessible introduction to Brecht's work.
