布萊希特
Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956)

布萊希特於1898年2月10日在奧格斯堡出生,1956年8月14日終於柏林。他在二十年代至三十年代初的熾熱歲月裏,以作品《人是人》、《三便士歌劇》及《母親》,發展成一個成熟的劇作家。1932年,希特拉當權,布萊希特離開德國,後來1941年移居美國至1947年。他在流亡期間完成了不少傑作,如《伽利略的一生》、《沙膽大娘》和《高加索灰闌記》等。1947年他回到歐洲後創立「柏林劇院」,劇院在布萊希特在世時主要搬演他的劇作。 

Bertolt Brecht was born in Augsburg on 10 February 1898 and died in Berlin on 14 August 1956. He grew to maturity as a playwright in the frenetic years of the twenties and early thirties, with such plays as "Man equals Man", "The Threepenny Opera" and "The Mother". He left Germany when Hitler came to power in 1933, eventually reaching the United States in 1941, where he remained until 1947. It was during this period of exile that such masterpieces as "Life of Galileo", "Mother Courage" and "The Caucasian Chalk Circle" were written. Shortly after his return to Europe in 1947 he founded the Berliner Ensemble, and from then until his death was mainly occupied in producing his own plays.
