Description

A carefully edited Polish edition of one of the most important dramas of the 20th century, by Bertolt Brecht – creator of epic theater and a classic of world literature. Mother Courage remains one of the most poignant anti-war works in the history of drama, reflecting on the economics of conflict, the morality of survival and the tragic consequences of war.

Of particular value in this edition are the illustrations of Tadeusz Kulisiewicz – an outstanding graphic artist and illustrator whose work occupies an important place in the history of Polish art of the 20th century.
