Review: The Caucasian Chalk Circle
Nutzerbericht - Alex - GoodreadsNeat introduction by Eric Bentley. "When the house of the great collapses The lowly are also many of them crushed. Those who do not share the fortunes of the mighty Often share their misfortune. The lurching wagon Drags the sweating oxen with it Into the abyss."

Review: The Caucasian Chalk Circle
Nutzerbericht - Andrea - GoodreadsThere were a lot of problematic points in it -Azdak's reaction to the rape case in particular- but I liked how strong and determined Grusha was.

Nutzerbericht - GoodreadsI am, clearly, missing something. The only thing reading this play gave me was a headache. War sucks, but I think that has always been a given. I didn't nee this play to know that. Also, one play is enough of a challenge without the play within a play debacle.

Review: The Caucasian Chalk Circle
Nutzerbericht - Keith - GoodreadsAlong with Galileo, this is Brecht's best work. It is a odd mix of dialogue, song, narration and play within a play, but the result is an outstanding play. I highly recommend this play, and in particular the Arcade press version with Auden's translations of the verse portions. Vollständige Rezension lesen
