Description

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. These are culled from a number of collections, including Bertolt Brecht's "Domestic Breviary" (1927), various collections from 1913 to 1938; "Svendborg Poems" (1939); and various collected poems from 1938 to 1956. (No lyrics from the plays are included.) Also here are several prose works: "Socrates Wounded" and "The Unseemly Old Lady."
