【Editor's recommendation】
※The reporter of the unfortunate news should carefully answer the question of life and death
※Brecht's plays are widely spread around the world, and his poetry is comparable to Rilke's. He is a poet not to be missed.
※Brecht used simple language, a civilian perspective, and social concerns to vividly respond to the times and the human condition in which he lived.
※Poet and translator Huang Canran carefully selected and translated 226 representative works of Brecht's entire period, with accurate, exquisite, beautiful and fluent language.
【Celebrity Recommendation】
Brecht is that very rare phenomenon of a great poet for whom poetry is almost a daily visit and a breath… There is no doubt that the two great German poets of the first half of this century are Rilke and Brecht.
--George Steiner
Brecht is undoubtedly the greatest living German poet and probably the greatest living German dramatist. He is the only poet who can be compared with Kafka and Bloch in German literature, Joyce in English literature and Proust in French literature.
—Hannah Arendt
