The play was written in 1965 by BERTOLT BRECHT & LION FEUCHTWANGER. It was translated into English and provided with an English preface by CARL RICHARD MUELLER. See below for the synopsis. Overall its condition is good. I couldn’t find pen marks or tears on the pages. A few pages have minor discoloration, see photo. The cover is discolored from age and has a small tear at the top. See photos.

Info from back cover:

Published here for the first time in an English trans-lation, The Visions of Simone Machard has often been called one of Brecht's most tender and moving plays. The playwright wrote it during his Hollywood exile in 1942, together with the German novelist Lion Feuchtwanger. Inspired by the legend of Joan of Arc and the World War Il French resistance movement, it tells the story of an eleven-year-old French servant girl who, at the time of the German breakthrough into France in 1940, is possessed by dreams and visions bidding her to assume the identity of Joan of Arc and to save her village from the foreign invader and the greed of the local collaborators.

Conceived chiefly as an unambiguous call for heroic resistance, the play nevertheless gives us one of the most affecting characters in the entire Brecht canon

—Simone, the pre-adolescent girl whose impressionable naïveté defies the usual commonplaces of romantic heroism, who is impelled to action by personal love and patriotic fervor, and whose natural simplicity transcends her vulnerability and gives her a strength found in few other Brecht characters.
