{"product_id":"saint-joan-of-the-stockyards-bertolt-brecht-9780413653307","title":"Saint Joan of the Stockyards: Part One","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this version of the story of Joan of Arc, Brecht transforms her into 'Joan Dark', a member of the 'Black Straw Hats' (a Salvation Army-like group) in twentieth century Chicago. The play charts Joan's battle with Pierpont Mauler, the unctuous owner of a meat-packing plant. Like her predecessor, Joan is a doomed woman, a martyr and (initially, at least) an innocent in a world of strike-breakers, fat cats, and penniless workers. Like many of Brecht's plays it is laced with humor and songs as part of its epic dramaturgical structure. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe play, which was never staged in Brecht's lifetime, is published here with a new translation, a full introduction and Brecht's own notes on the text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bertolt Brecht\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0413653307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780413653307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Methuen Drama\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Bertolt Brecht","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056062001407,"sku":"9780413653307","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_406f7ca5-bca7-46c6-9cd5-4b36fb3ce667.jpg?v=1685039297","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/saint-joan-of-the-stockyards-bertolt-brecht-9780413653307","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
