The Visions of Simone Machard is a French resistance version of the Joan of Arc story. Schweyk in the Second World War transposes Haseks good soldier to the Prague of Hitler and Heydrich. The Caucasian Chalk Circle; based on the biblical story of the judgement of Solomon; was originally written for production on Broadway; with W. H. Auden responsible for the verse. A morality masterpiece; the play powerfully demonstrates Brechts pioneering theatrical techniques and has since become one of his most popular works.The translations are ideal for both study and performance. The volume is accompanied by a full introduction and notes by the series editor John Willett and includes Brechts own notes and relevant texts as well as all the important textual variants.

Born in Khanpur; near Hoshiarpur Punjab in 1928; Niazi lived in Pakistan after that country achieved its independence in 1947. Niazi wrote in Urdu and Punjabi; and some his poems were used as songs in major Pakistani films thereby establishing him as one of this countryrsquo;s foremost 20th century poets.
