The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui

In The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui, Brecht recasts Hitler's rise to power in terms of a small-time takeover of Chicago's greengrocery trade. The brilliant parable recounts the events leading up to World War II with an American street-smart wit. -- The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui includes a new introduction, extensive backmatter of Brecht's own notes and variants, and notes and commentary from the editors.
