Storytelling permeated his art as a dramatist; fundamentally in his plays he was a storyteller. This volume collects the complete short stories written by Brecht, including the prize-winning 'The Monster', and the fragmentary memoir ghost-written by Brecht, 'Life Story of the boxer Samson-Kner'. Brecht scholar Marc Silberman provides an introduction and editorial notes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFans of Brecht will find in the 37 stories assembled here the same directness, lack of affectation, and wry humour that characterise his plays. Every lover of short stories will discover an unexpected trove of pleasure in this \"mine for short-story addicts\" (\u003ci\u003eObserver\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bertolt Brecht\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472577515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472577511\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Methuen Drama\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/26\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.83h x 5.14w x 0.91d","brand":"Bertolt Brecht","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935479726335,"sku":"9781472577511","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_763bfc6c-87a6-4879-840a-4a237b4f1d30.jpg?v=1681420046","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/collected-short-stories-of-bertolt-bertolt-brecht-9781472577511","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
