This book is a selection of poems and essays by Bertolt Brecht that define a horizon of political intervention and portray the social confrontation and struggles against oppression. The texts turn their gaze back to the writing procedures that would allow unraveling the main contradictions of capitalism, offering a non-bourgeois poetics and a literary intelligence against accommodation to the "time of merchants".
Eugen Berthold Friedrich Brecht, known as Bertolt Brecht and Bert Brecht, was a German theatre practitioner, playwright, and poet. Coming of age during the Weimar Republic, he had his first successes as a playwright in Munich and moved to Berlin in 1924, where he wrote The Threepenny Opera with Elisabeth Hauptmann and Kurt Weill and began a lifelong collaboration with the composer Hanns Eisler. Immersed in Marxist thought during this period, Brecht wrote didactic Lehrstücke and became a leading theoretician of epic theatre and the Verfremdungseffekt.
