dj. First English Language Edition. 8vo, Original boards with dustjacket. 140 pages. illustrated with a portrait of Brecht and his wife by Ernst van Leyden. 19 x 15 cm. In English. This Holocaust-era play consists of seventeen of the twenty-eight scenes of Brecht's chronicle "Fears and miseries of the third reich." It gives a description of Hitler's New Order in Germany in the 20th century. "Fear and Misery of the Third Reich (German: Furcht und Elend des Dritten Reiches), also known as The Private Life of the Master Race, is one of Bertolt Brecht's most famous plays and the first of his openly anti-Nazi works. It premiered on 21 May 1938 in Paris. This production was directed by Slatan Dudow and starred Helene Weigel. The production employed Brecht's epic theatre techniques to defamiliarize the behaviour of the characters and to make explicit the play's underlying message. The play consists of a series of playlets, portraying National Socialist Germany of the 1930s as a land of poverty, violence, fear and pretence. Nazi antisemitism is depicted in several of the sketches, including 'the Physicist', 'Judicial Process', and 'the Jewish Wife'. It was followed by many more plays that were openly anti-Nazi (Arturo Ui, etc.) and attempted a Marxist analysis. They were written while Brecht was in exile in Denmark and were inspired by a visit to Moscow, where he experienced the growing significance of the anti-Nazi movement there."

Zustand: Good. First Edition. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - BRECHT'S AMERICAN CHAMPION FROM THEORY TO PERFORMANCE This singular four-part publisher's archive maps a decade-long intellectual partnership at the center of the post-war New York theatrical avant-garde. BRECHT TAKES THE AMERICAN STAGE +++ The Realized Manifesto - The 1961 Columbia Players program represents the physical realization of Eric Bentley's lifelong campaign to establish Bertolt Brecht within the canon of American drama. By placing a photograph of his collaboration with Brecht at the center of the publication, Bentley visually asserted his role as the principal interpreter of Brechtian theory for English-speaking audiences. WHERE THE STAGE MET THE PUBLISHER +++ The Publisher's Intersection - The archive derives its greatest significance from its preservation within the papers of Horizon Press founder Ben Raeburn. Here, public theatrical performance intersects with the private planning of an independent publisher committed to bringing the same avant-garde ideas into print. A DECADE OF EXPERIMENTATION +++ The Arc of Innovation - Spanning 1956 to 1967, the archive follows Bentley as he introduced Brecht to university audiences, reinvented European opera for Off-Broadway stages, premiered experimental scripts, and corresponded candidly with Raeburn about the legal, financial, and practical realities of sustaining serious theatre. THE ARCHIVE: AT A GLANCE +++ Components - Four-piece research archive comprising an inscribed presentation libretto (1956), an Off-Broadway production program (1961), a highly candid typed letter signed (1965), and a scarce Greenwich Village performance invitation (1967). Together they document Eric Bentley's work as playwright, translator, critic, and advocate for Bertolt Brecht. THE PRESENTATION COPY +++ Orpheus in the Underworld - First printing of Eric Bentley's libretto for Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld (New York: Program Publishing Company, 1956). Inscribed on the front cover, "To Ben - From Eric," establishing the volume as a presentation copy to Horizon Press founder Ben Raeburn. Includes contemporary editorial annotations and a probable authorial pencil correction. THE PERFORMANCE RECORD +++ Brecht Comes to Columbia - Original eight-page program for the Columbia Players' 1961 production of Nikolai Gogol's The Gamblers and Bertolt Brecht's The Exception and the Rule in Bentley's English translations, directed by Isaiah Sheffer with music by Stefan Wolpe. Includes Bentley's essay, his translation of Brecht's poem To Those Born Later, and a remarkable photograph showing Bentley working directly with Brecht during a production of Mother Courage. THE PUBLISHER'S LETTER +++ Behind the Scenes - A revealing typed letter signed, dated August 27, 1965, discussing publishing strategy with Ben Raeburn. Bentley weighs the competing interests of Knopf and Beacon Press while reflecting-with characteristic wit-on his own literary legacy and future projects. THE GREENWICH VILLAGE INVITATION +++ Opening Night - Scarce invitation issued by the H B Playwrights Foundation for the April 1967 presentation of Commitments. The advisory board-including Boris Aronson, Saul Bellow, Leonard Bernstein, Herbert Berghof, Uta Hagen, and Hume Cronyn-documents the extraordinary artistic circle surrounding Bentley during the height of Off-Broadway experimentation. PROVENANCE: Preserved intact in the estate of Horizon Press founder Ben Raeburn. TRANSCRIPTIONS: Complete transcription of the 1965 correspondence available upon request. SCHOLARLY FEATURES - DESIGN, SCHOLARSHIP & INFLUENCE THE AUTHORITY TO SPEAK FOR BRECHT - The centerpiece of the 1961 Columbia Players program is Eric Bentley's essay, "A Message from Eric Bentley," accompanied by his translation of Brecht's poem To Those Born Later. Even more significant is the inclusion of a rare 1950 photograph showing Bentley working directly alongside Bertolt Brecht during a production of Mother Courage. Together, the essay and photograph.
