![]() ![]() Author: Brecht Bertolt; Federici Solari M. (cur.) Publisher: L'orma È in una Cina immaginaria che Brecht decise di trasporre narrativamente, con divertito coraggio, i tempi oscuri e turbolenti in cui la Storia gli diede in sorte di vivere. Cominciato durante l'esilio e rimasto frammentario dopo oltre un decennio di lavoro, 'Il romanzo dei tui' è una satira feroce degli intellettuali che affittano a cottimo al migliore offerente il proprio ingegno: i 'tui'. Dal mare dell'imbecillità umana emerge qui un arcipelago di aneddoti, storielle, parabole e corrosivi esercizi di umorismo che mettono alla berlina tutti i grandi ideologi dell'Occidente e forniscono anche una diagnosi inaspettata e spiazzante dell'ascesa di Hitler. Un geniale e comico breviario sul cattivo uso dell'intelletto che zigzaga tra apologhi memorabili, trattati stravaganti (compreso uno sull'arte del leccapiedi) e racconti arguti, consegnandoci una requisitoria serrata e farsesca contro ogni pensiero fumoso e servile. Un tesoro di caustica comicità proposto per la prima volta al pubblico italiano. € 18,00

![]() ![]() Author: Brecht Bertolt Publisher: Garzanti Bertolt Brecht non è stato solo uno dei più importanti uomini di teatro del Novecento, ma anche uno dei massimi lirici di lingua tedesca: lo dimostrano sia le poesie politiche sia - su un versante più privato e personale - i versi d'amore o esplicitamente erotici. Quest'antologia è opera di un traduttore non occasionale, Gabriele Mucchi, pittore, architetto e designer che del poeta fu amico personale. Una selezione che comprende sia poesie famose sia componimenti spesso rimasti ignoti a causa dell'accanimento della censura. Ci sono poesie erotiche, che la pruderie dei curatori ha atteso quasi trent'anni prima di rendere pubbliche, ma c'è anche la splendida Ricordo di Marie A., che merita un posto accanto ai classici della delusione e della nostalgia amorosa di tutti i tempi. Oggi, ormai archiviati i furori ideologici del secolo breve, possiamo ammirare la limpidissima vena lirica di uno scrittore universalmente noto soprattutto per il suo acceso impegno politico. € 16,50

![]() ![]() Author: Brecht Bertolt, Constantine David (TRN), Kuhn Tom (TRN), Brecht-schall Barbara (FRW) Publisher: Liveright Pub Corp Bertolt Brecht is widely considered the greatest German playwright of the twentieth century, and to this day remains best known as a dramatist, the author of Mother Courage, The Threepenny Opera, and The Caucasian Chalk Circle, among so many other works. However, Brecht was also a hugely prolific and eclectic poet, producing more than 2,000 poems during his lifetime—indeed, so many that even his own wife, Helene Weigel, had no idea just how many he had written."A thieving magpie of much of world literature," the full scope and variety of his poetic output did not become apparent until after his death. Now, the English-speaking world can access part of his stunning body of work in Love Poems, the first volume in a monumental undertaking by award-winning translators David Constantine and Tom Kuhn to translate Brecht's poetic legacy into English. Love Poems collects his most intimate and romantic poems, many of which were banned in German in the 1950s for their explicit eroticism.Written between 1918 and 1955, these poems reflect an artist driven not only by the bitter and violent politics of his age but, like Goethe, by the untrammeled forces of love, romance, and erotic desire. In a 1966 New Yorker article, Hannah Arendt wrote of Brecht that he had "staked his life and his art as few poets have ever done." In these 78 poems, we see Brecht's astonishing and deeply personal love poems—including 22 never before published in English—many addressed to particular women, which show Brecht as lover and love poet, engaged in a bitter struggle to keep faith, hope, and love alive during desperate times.Featuring a personal foreword by Barbara Brecht-Schall, his last surviving child, Love Poems reveals Brecht as not merely one of the most famous playwrights of the twentieth century but also one of its most fiercely creative poets. € 14,40

![]() ![]() Author: Brecht Bertolt Publisher: Einaudi L'Abicí della guerra è l'esito della convergenza di due ambiti di interesse di Bertolt Brecht: quello per le immagini (e in particolare le illustrazioni tratte dai giornali) e quello per la poesia epigrammatica. Da essi nacque un genere letterario inedito, l''epigramma fotografico', al quale il poeta si dedicò in particolare negli anni dell'esilio. Nel dopoguerra, Brecht diede poi una precisa struttura al materiale, e lo articolò cronologicamente e tematicamente dal riarmo della Germania sino alla sconfitta del nazismo. Superate le resistenze della Rdt, la raccolta venne pubblicata a Berlino est nel 1955 e nonostante i molti giudizi storico-politici oggi superati, conserva il valore della testimonianza, del bisogno intellettuale di fare i conti con l'orrore della guerra. € 11,00

Brecht, narrando i colloqui del giovane col banchiere Spicro, e riproducendo gli immaginari diari del segretario di Cesare, Raro, riscrive la storia di Roma nel I secolo a.C., col risultato di restituirla, con sorprendente verosimiglianza, alla sua dimensione 'affaristica'. € 11,00

![]() ![]() Author: Brecht Bertolt, Barnett David (EDT), Willett John (CON) Publisher: Bloomsbury Methuen Drama This volume contains Brecht’s post-1950 adaptations of world dramatic classics for the Berliner Ensemble. Brecht’s remodeled versions show all of the great dramatist’s characteristic preoccupations: hatred of personal greatness, admiration of the people and hatred of war unless waged on behalf of the people who, to him, were the embodiment of wisdom and good sense. The Tutor is a 1950s adaptation of an 18th century play by J.M.R. Lenz and is a savage portrait of the subservience of German intellectuals and schoolmasters to the whims of the rich and powerful. Coriolanus is an unfinished adaptation of Shakespeare’s play, using the Roman story to reflect Marxist theories of class struggle. Don Juan, a collaborative adaptation of Molière’s play, redefines the charming social parasite as both a ridiculous egoist and an example of a dangerously attractive, theatrically mythic personality type. The Trial of Joan of Arc at Rouen adapts a radio play by Anna Seghers which was based on the original records of the trial of Joan of Arc. Trumpets and Drums is an adaptation of Farquhar’s 18th century Restoration comedy The Recruiting Officer, which transfers the action to the American Civil War and introduces comments on imperialism and colonial conquest. € 26,30

![]() ![]() Author: Brecht Bertolt; Ganni E. (cur.) Publisher: Einaudi Bertolt Brecht non è stato solo uno dei più importanti uomini di teatro del Novecento, ma anche uno dei massimi poeti di lingua tedesca. Lo dimostrano le poesie politiche, che si misurano con la dura realtà prendendo posizioni nette. E lo fanno attraverso una lingua che non indulge mai a vuoti artifici retorici e che, invece, è asservita al fine pratico della conoscenza. In netto contrasto con le tendenze individualistiche dei suoi contemporanei, Brecht trasforma ogni verso in strumento di lotta e di persuasione, al servizio di una società libera e democratica. Una società in cui nessuno, neppure l'artista, può essere indifferente a ciò che appartiene a tutti: la politica. Introduzione di Alberto Asor Rosa. € 12,50

![]() ![]() Author: Brecht Bertolt; Oneto G. (cur.) Publisher: Einaudi Brecht rielaborò, in tre distinte riprese fino a pochi mesi dalla morte, questo dramma, centrale nella sua produzione sia sul piano drammaturgico che su quello morale; un ritratto chiaroscurato e contraddittorio del grande scienziato pisano, la cui indefessa ricerca della verità si trasforma a poco a poco in una sorta di vizio, di personale intemperanza intellettuale. La presente edizione offre un'ampia introduzione, che situa l'autore e l'opera nel loro contesto storico e letterario, il testo originale nella versione definitiva e integrale con la traduzione a fronte, e un corredo di note che chiariscono le difficoltà linguistiche e forniscono precisazioni culturali, d'ambiente e di costume. € 12,50

![]() ![]() Author: Brecht Bertolt, Tabori George (TRN), Beaton Alistair (CON) Publisher: Bloomsbury Methuen Drama Described by Brecht as 'a gangster play that would recall certain events familiar to us all', The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui is a witty and savage satire of the rise of Hitler – recast by Brecht into a small-time Chicago gangster's takeover of the city's greengrocery trade. Using a wide range of parody and pastiche – from Al Capone to Shakespeare's Richard III and Goethe's Faust – Brecht's compelling parable continues to have relevance wherever totalitarianism appears today. Written during the Second World War in 1941, the play was one of the Berliner Ensemble's most outstanding box-office successes in 1959, and has continued to attract a succession of major actors, including Leonard Rossiter, Christopher Plummer, Antony Sher and Al Pacino. This version, originally translated by George Tabori, has been revised by leading Scottish playwright Alistair Beaton. € 14,00

![]() ![]() Author: Brecht Bertolt, Ravenhill Mark (TRN) Publisher: Bloomsbury Methuen Drama Arguably Brecht's greatest play, A Life of Galileo charts the seventeenth century scientist's extraordinary fight with the church over his assertion that the earth orbits the sun. The figure of Galileo, whose ‘heretical’ discoveries about the solar system brought him to the attention of the Inquisition, is one of Brecht’s more human and complex creations. Temporarily silenced by the Inquisition’s threat of torture, and forced to abjure his theories publicly, Galileo continues to work in private, eventually smuggling his work out of the country. Brecht's beautiful depiction of the explosive struggle between scientific discovery and religious fundamentalism is captured masterfully in this new translation by RSC writer-in-residence, Mark Ravenhill. € 14,00

The play is fuelled by the brilliant perception that everyone requires such a dual or split personality to survive.' Evening Standard. Three gods come to earth hoping to discover one really good person. No one can be found until they meet Shen Te, a prostitute with a heart of gold. Rewarded by the gods, she gives up her profession and buys a tabacco shop but finds it is impossible to survive as a good person in a corrupt world without the support of her ruthless alter ego Shui Ta.
