Vita di Galileo is a play written by Bertolt Brecht, which examines the life of the famous scientist Galileo Galilei and his conflict with the Catholic Church. The play explores themes such as freedom of thought, the social responsibility of scientists, and the power of truth in a world full of dogmas and prejudices. This edition of Einaudi Tascabili presents the original text in Italian with notes and comments for a better understanding of the work.
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.
