Brecht's short stories – which want to educate, of course – are much more bearable than his equally educational plays. Still very much on the nose, to the degree that I thought about linking the Narnia books here.

One of the last pieces from before Brecht abandoned fun and good poems, and turned to political education.

Brecht telling you about circumstances forcing people into immoral deeds. It's peak communist Brecht, and thus unreadable and overall very annoying.
