In it, the gods come to earth in search of enough good people to justify their existence. They find Shen Teh, a good-hearted but penniless prostitute, and make her a gift that enables her to set up her own business. But her goodness brings ruin and she must disguise herself as a man in order to muster sufficient ruthlessness to survive. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, this edition features an introduction and extensive notes and textual variants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bertolt Brecht\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041358240X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780413582409\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Methuen Drama\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.13w x 0.42d","brand":"Bertolt Brecht","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119666000127,"sku":"9780413582409","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_53132ca2-db1c-4672-8224-5d737fb60f39.jpg?v=1687410358","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-good-person-of-szechwan-bertolt-brecht-9780413582409","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
