In the jungle of cities
by Bertolt Brecht
About
When lumber dealer Shlink meets book clerk George Garga, they immediately conceive an irrational hatred for each other and declare war between themselves. Their fighting engulfs and eventually destroys their families and the people around them. Depicting fraud, crime, and prostitution in an imagined version of Chicago, Brecht structured 'In the Jungle of Cities' as a boxing match between two men who do not know why they are fighting. Brecht's interest in the collision between the interests of capitalism and the good of the people is already evident in this early work.
