The Good Woman of Setzuan - Brecht, Bertolt; Bentley, Eric

Clean, tight, unmarked; very light wear to corners; small nick on inside front edge; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; During the 30s, the subversive nature of his work sent Brecht from Germany to Scandinavia and later to the United States. The Good Woman of Setzuan, written during Brecht's exile and set in pre-Communist China, is a parable of a young woman torn between obligation and reality, between love and practicality, and between her own needs and those of her friends and neighbours. Eric Bentley provides here a reliable and compelling English version of one of Brecht's most popular plays.
