Bøger af Bertolt Brecht

"Svendborgdigte" blev skrevet under Bert Brechts eksil fra nazityskland 1933-39, hvor han boede i Karen Michaëlis hus i Svendborg. Digtene har ikke før i sin helhed været udgivet på dansk, men foreligger derimod på alverdens andre sprog. Den udkommer i forbindelse med en dramatisering af digtene på BaggårdTeatret.Med tysk og dansk tekst.Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956) er i Danmark mest kendt for sin dramatiske, men internationalt regnes han også for at være en stor lyriker – på linje med Goethe, Schiller og Heine.

Brecht arbejdede på sit ufuldendte drama, Egoistens Johann Fatzers undergang fra 1926 og frem til sin død. I 1978 fik Heiner Müller adgang til det store tekstmateriale og stod bag denne "sceneudgave", som er en usædvanlig kompleks undersøgelse af politisk radikalitet, modstandskamp og terrorisme.

Edward II is, in a sense, Bertolt Brecht's only tragedy. Based on Christopher Marlowe's classic of the same name, it departs from its source as widely as The Threepenny Opera departs from Gay's Beggar's Opera. Brecht has made a multitude of technical changes calculated to streamline the play, with a smaller cast and simpler action, and he has created virtually new and totally compelling characters with his extravagant variations on Anne, Edward's queen, and Mortimer, the villain of the piece. Brecht also reinterprets Marlowe's famously homosexual protagonist, creating an Edward initially more crudely homoerotic and ultimately more truly heroic. Brecht's Edward is a hero for the modern era: an existential hero defying a meaningless universe with his courage.

Repackaged and reissued, this is Brecht's classic interpretation of John Gay's The Beggars Opera. It is a vicious satire on the bourgeois capitalist society of the Weimar Republic, married with the jazz music of Kurt Weill. The text is accompanied by Brecht's original notes.

Huspostil er Bertolt Brechts første trykte digtsamling fra 1927, altså fra før han for alvor blev politisk digter. Men hans indignation, hans hudfletning af samfundsordenen og hans ironi – alene Brechts valg af begrebet Huspostil, der er en kristelig andagtsbog for hjemmet – peger tydeligt i den retning, som vi kender ham i hans senere dramaer og digte. Digtsamlingen foreligger her i en tosproget version – for første gang i sin helhed på dansk ved Niels Brunse, Jon Høyer, Erik Knudsen, Ivan Malinowski og Hans Christian Nørregaard, der også leverer en efterskrift, som sætter værket i perspektiv og viser dets betydning for os i dag.

Features the text in the great controversies over literature and art between thinkers who have become giants of 20th-century philosophy.

Brecht is an important lyrical voice of the 20th century, and is honoured as Germany's greatest modern poet. Yet his poetry is relativley little known in the English speaking world. This title takes its cue from a poem about the artist's legacy and looks at how Brecht's work might read today.

Long in preparation, here are the essential poems and prose of one of the giants of 20th century world literature. Following an authoritative introduction by Reinhold Grimm, the volume includes German and English poems on facing pages.

This volume contains a selection of Brecht's last completed plays, from the eight years between his return from America to Europe after the war and his death in 1956. It contains 'The Antigone of Sophocles', 'The Days of the Commune', 'Turandot or The Whitewashers' Congress'.

Brecht's "Work Journals" cover the period from 1938 to 1955, the years of exile and his return to East Berlin. The accounts of his writing practice provide insight into the creation of his dramatic works, the development of his political thinking and his theories about epic theatre.

This volume contains new translations to extend our image of one of the twentieth century's most entertaining and thought provoking writers on culture, aesthetics and politics. Here are a cross-section of Brecht's wide-ranging thoughts which offer us an extraordinary window onto the concerns of a modern world in four decades of economic and political disorder. The book is designed to give wider access to the experience of a dynamic intellect, radically engaged with social, political and cultural processes. Each section begins with a short essay by the editors introducing and summarising Brecht's thought in the relevant year.
