ABSTRACT:
Poet and drama author Bertolt Brecht, lived in a period of cultural effervescence in the Weimar Republic, disrupted by the rise to power of the National Socialist Party in Germany, which determined the emigration of many intellectuals. In exile from 1933 till after the end of the Second World War, the writer made reflections on the state of the working class and its relation to nazism which are at his plays, at his film, his private letters, and at his working journals. Some of these documents allow us to see his dialectical interpretation of immediate history from a Marxist perspective and from the account of political events related both to war as to the emancipation of the proletariat.
