A student edition that combines the text with a full commentary and study aids.

Brecht's famous parable, written in exile in 1939-41, shows that in an unjust society good can only survive by means of evil. 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. One of the greatest poets and dramatists of our century (Observer)

    Ralph Frederick Manheim (April 4, 1907 – September 26, 1992) was an American translator of German and French literature, as well as occasional works from Dutch, Polish and Hungarian. He likened translation to acting, the role being "to impersonate his author".

5.0 out of 5 stars Bretchian Excellence
Reviewed in India on 9 September 2020

Enjoyed the whole story. The character of Shen Teh and her alter ego named Shui Ta teach about the cons and pros of both capitalism and socialism. The alienation effect used in the novel is a sign of Bretch's brilliance and completely engrosses the reader it itself. The book was in good condition and was easy to unbox.

5.0 out of 5 stars What The Heck Brecht?
Reviewed in the United States on 26 February 2013

The Good Person, is a play written in the early 1940s by German playwright, Bertolt Brecht. The play is, among many things, layered and has a a flare for the imaginative with it's constant referral to the unknown (gods) and metaphorical audience winks. I enjoyed the play, and though sometimes understanding material from eastern cultures can be difficult at times (I always consider Monkey by Wu Cheng'en), this doesn't necessarily require a predisposed knowledge of Szechwan history to grab onto the story. It has a great sense of humor, and it's one that I will be keeping on my shelf.
