«Historias de Almanaque» is Bertolt Brecht's collection of stories published by Alianza in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together poems, stories about historical figures (Giordano Bruno, Francis Bacon, Caesar, Socrates), narratives from the Thirty Years' War and the Second World War, and aphorisms of Mr. Kauner. A central motif unites them: human behaviour as a vehicle for moral lesson, criticism of prejudice and dismantling of myths.
Original work: «Kalendergeschichten» (1949). Translation by Joaquín Rábago. Series: El Libro de Bolsillo (Biblioteca Brecht).
For readers of European classics and followers of Bertolt Brecht, with a taste for short stories with historical and moral background.
Eugen Berthold Friedrich Brecht, known as Bertolt Brecht and Bert Brecht, was a German theatre practitioner, playwright, and poet. Coming of age during the Weimar Republic, he had his first successes as a playwright in Munich and moved to Berlin in 1924, where he wrote The Threepenny Opera with Elisabeth Hauptmann and Kurt Weill and began a lifelong collaboration with the composer Hanns Eisler. Immersed in Marxist thought during this period, Brecht wrote didactic Lehrstücke and became a leading theoretician of epic theatre and the Verfremdungseffekt.
