SYNOPSIS
Along with Mother Courage, the character of Galileo is one of Brecht''s greatest creations, immensely live, human and complex. Unable to resist his appetite for scientific investigation, Galileo''s heretical discoveries about the solar system bring him to the attention of the Inquisition. He is scared into publicly abjuring his theories but, despite his self-contempt, goes on working in private, eventually helping to smuggle his writings out of the country.
As an examination of the problems that face not only the scientist but also the whole spirit of free inquiry when brought into conflict with the requirements of government or official ideology, Life of Galileo has few equals.
Written in exile in 1937-9 and first performed in Zurich in 1943, Galileo was first staged in English in 1947 by Joseph Losey in a version jointly prepared by Brecht and Charles Laughton, who played the title role. Printed here is the complete translation by Brecht scholar John Willett. The much shorter Laughton version is also included in full as an appendix, along with Brecht''s own copious notes on the play making this the most trusted scholarly edition of the text.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Bertolt Brecht
Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956)
Dramaturgo, poeta, romancista e ensaísta , nasceu em Augsburg, Alemanha, a 10 de fevereiro de 1898.
Em 1917 iniciou o curso de medicina em Munique, mas logo foi convocado pelo exército, indo trabalhar como enfermeiro num hospital militar. Aquele que se iria tornar uma das mais importantes figuras do teatro do século XX, cedo começou a escrever os seus primeiros poemas e cedo se rebelou contra os "falsos padrões" da arte e da vida burguesa, corroídas pela Primeira Guerra. Tal atitude reflete-se já na sua primeira peça, o drama expressionista "Baal", de 1918. Colabora com os diretores Max Reinhardt e Erwin Piscator. Em 1928, faz com Kurt Weill a "Ópera de Três Vinténs". Com a ascensão de Hitler, deixa o país em 1933, e exila-se em países como a Dinamarca e Estados Unidos da América, onde sobrevive à custa de trabalhos para Hollywood. Faz da crítica ao nazismo e à guerra tema de obras como "Mãe coragem e seus filhos" (1939). Dos Estados Unidos, vítima do macartismo, parte em 1947 para a Suíça onde redige o "Pequeno Organon", suma de sua teoria teatral. Volta à Alemanha em 1948, onde funda, no ano seguinte, em Berlim Leste, a companhia Berliner Ensemble.
Bertolt Brecht destacou-se também na poesia, de forte conteúdo social.
Morreu em Berlim, a 14 de agosto 1956.
