More about the book

Bernard Shaw, an influential Irish playwright and political activist, shaped Western theatre and culture from the 1880s until his death in 1950. Renowned for his over sixty plays, including classics like Man and Superman, Pygmalion, and Saint Joan, he adeptly blended contemporary satire with historical themes. His work not only entertained but also provoked thought on social issues, earning him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925, solidifying his status as a leading dramatist of his time.
