The Good Woman of Setzuan, written during Brecht's exile and set in Communist China, is a parable of a young woman torn between obligation and reality, between love and practicality, and between her own needs and those of her friends and neighbors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdhering closely to the original German text, this is a performance-friendly translation of one of Brecht's most popular plays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bertolt Brecht\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816635277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816635276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.66h x 5.24w x 0.35d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bertolt Brecht","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072817721599,"sku":"9780816635276","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0a157a14-51da-4642-9c13-cfe3d75b0d1f.jpg?v=1685444105","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/good-woman-of-setzuan-bertolt-brecht-9780816635276","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
