Der Gute Mensch von Sezuan: The Good Man of Setzuan - Bertolt Brecht

Product Description

Brecht's famous parable, written in exile in 1939-41, shows that in an unjust society good can only survive by means of evil.

In it, the gods come to earth in search of enough good people to justify their existence. They find Shen Teh, a good-hearted but penniless prostitute, and make her a gift that enables her to set up her own business. But her goodness brings ruin and she must disguise herself as a man in order to muster sufficient ruthlessness to survive. 

Includes the full German text, accompanied by German-English vocabulary. Notes and a detailed introduction in English put the work in its social and historical context.
