Nous ne sommes pas libres. Ça commence le matin avec le café et avec des coups, quand on est un singe, et les larmes des mères salent les repas des enfants, et leur sueur leur lave la chemise, et on est en sécurité jusqu'à la période glaciaire, et la racine se tient dans le coeur. et a-t-il terminé sa croissance, et veut-il faire quelque chose à fond, alors il est payé, estampillé, vendu au prix fort, et il n'a même pas la liberté de sombrer.

Author Information
Bertolt Brecht was born on February 10, 1898 in Augsburg, Bavaria, and died on August 14, 1956. He was a German playwright, theatre director and Marxist. The modest house where he was born is today preserved as a Brecht Museum. Brecht formed a writing collective which became prolific and very influential. He wrote many lyrics for musicals and show more collaborated with Kurt Weill to create Die Dregroschenoper -- the biggest hit in 1920s Berlin. Brecht experimented with his own theater and company -- the Berliner Ensemble -- which put on his plays under his direction and which continued after his death with the assistance of his wife. Brecht aspired to create political theater, and it is difficult to evaluate his work in purely aesthetic terms. Brecht died in 1956. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
