Description: Brecht's first - and some say his best - book of poetry, Manual of Piety (Die Hauspostille) is a landmark of 20th Century literature. Written in a devotional style, the book is both a clever spoof and a heartfelt critique of Old World Europe. This literary treasure by Bertolt Brecht was written in German and includes full English translations by Eric Bentley (Brecht's usual translator) along with notes by Hugo Schmidt that place each poem in its historical and literary context. t's a must-have for collectors of great books; it's a must-have for lovers of great literature. This 1st edition book was published by Grove Press in 1966. With its special attributes and unique author, this book is a great conversation starter, a wonderful piece of literary history, and a rare opportunity to own an incredible piece of literature.
