520			_a"[Frederic Ewen] paints a vivid portrait of Brecht the man, his life in Weimar Germany, and his fight against the rapidly emerging Nazi philosophy in the late twenties and early thirties [...] The book is based on original research into unpublished materials in the Brecht Archives in East Berlin, conversations with friends and associates of the playwright, and study of the Berliner Ensemble in rehearsal and performance. Dr. Ewen shows how Brecht's work is intimately bound up with the history of his times. Two world wars, revolution in Russia and China, the rise and fall of Nazism — these events shaped his views on the function of literature, and of the drama in particular." -- from the dust jacket.
