Interesting a fast read. Not very accurate history but has lots of implied social commentary.

It was very interesting reading and a wonderful look at how Galileo viewed his look on science vs. church and I enjoyed the how he was abled to complete the work under house arrest.

This book is really riveting; there is a lot of subtle symbolism and the plots and social commentary really tells a lot about the time period this was written.

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2018
This is a classic play about the struggle to sustain the truth when writing. The main character, Galileo himself, is given room for an actor and director to interpret fully. We see his human and his intellectual sides. Reading it really made me want to see a production, or even different productions. This copy includes a great essay by Brecht, "Writing the Truth: Five Difficulties", that offers advice much needed in these Trump-ridden times. "The dependence of everything upon many factors which are constantly changing is an idea dangerous to dictators, and this idea can appear in many guises without giving the police anything to put their finger on." From this idea, Brecht concludes, "Cunning is necessary to spread the truth."
