Description
Bertolt Brecht's 1939-41 parable explores the complex relationship between good and evil in an unjust society. In this thought-provoking drama, the gods arrive on earth in search of individuals with sufficient goodness to justify their existence.
A young woman, struggling to survive as a prostitute, is unexpectedly gifted with the means to establish her own business. However, her inherent kindness ultimately proves disastrous, and she must disguise herself as a man to acquire the ruthlessness necessary for survival.
This edition of The Good Person of Szechwan features an introduction and extensive notes and textual variants, providing valuable context for readers seeking to understand Brecht's masterpiece.
