Bertolt Brecht: A Literary Life
This first English language biography of Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956) in two decades paints a strikingly new picture of one of the twentieth century's most controversial cultural icons. Drawing on letters, diaries and unpublished material, including Brecht's medical records, Parker offers a rich and enthralling account of Brecht's life and work, viewed through the prism of the artist. Tracing his extraordinary life, from his formative years in Augsburg, through the First World War, his politicisation during the Weimar Republic and his years of exile, up to the Berliner Ensemble's dazzling productions in Paris and London, Parker shows how Brecht achieved his transformative effect upon world theatre and poetry. Bertolt Brecht: A Literary Life is a powerful portrait of a great, compulsively contradictory personality, whose artistry left its lasting imprint on modern culture.

Teaching a Preschooler to Read

Reading instruction in most schools is in disarray, with the result that two-thirds of students never become proficient readers (this according to the the US government publication The Nation's Report Card). Why take a chance with your own child? Do the job yourself; many parents before you have done so successfully. All you need is this guide. With minor adjustments, this book can easily be adapted in order to teach reading to older students, homeschoolers, and even other adults.
