This first English language biography of Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956)
in two decades paints a strikingly new picture of one of the
twentieth century's most controversial cultural icons. First
published in 2014 and now available in paperback, it was critically
lauded and declared the definitive life of this great artist and
writer. Drawing on letters, diaries and unpublished material,
including Brecht's medical records, Parker offers a rich and
enthralling account of Brecht's life and work, viewed through the
prism of the artist. Tracing his extraordinary life, from his
formative years in Augsburg, through the First World War, his
politicisation during the Weimar Republic and his years of exile,
up to the Berliner Ensemble's dazzling productions in Paris and
London, Parker shows how Brecht achieved his transformative effect
upon world theatre and poetry. Bertolt Brecht: A Literary Life is a
powerful portrait of a great, compulsively contradictory
personality, whose artistry left its lasting imprint on modern
culture.
