About This Book

Baal was the first full-length play written by the German modernist playwright Bertolt Brecht. It concerns a wastrel youth who becomes involved in several sexual affairs and at least one murder. It was written in 1918, when Brecht was a 20-year-old student at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, in response to the expressionist drama The Loner by the soon-to-become-Nazi dramatist Hanns Johst.
