About This Novel
Brecht's early drama masterpiece. The story takes place in London, England in the 1920s. Mike is the bandit leader, and businessman Peachum controls the fate of beggars in the city. Mike secretly married Peachum's daughter Polly. Peachum regarded his daughter as his capital and felt that the loss was huge, so he reported Mike to the authorities. Although the police chief had a special relationship with Mike, he still arrested him under pressure. Peachum coerces the beggars to march at the Queen's coronation and forces the police chief to execute Mike. Mike is ready to exchange money for freedom, but his wife Polly and the bandit brothers value money more. No one is willing to save him, and Mike's life hangs on a thread.
