Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Bernard Shaw demanded truth and despised convention. He punctured hollow pretensions and smug prudishness—coating his criticism with ingenious and irreverent wit. In Mrs. Warren’s Profession, Arms and the Man, Candida, and Man and Superman, the great playwright satirizes society, military heroism, marriage, and the pursuit of man by woman. From a social, literary, and theatrical standpoint, these four plays are among the foremost dramas of the age—as intellectually stimulating as they are thoroughly enjoyable. “My way of joking is to tell the truth: It is the funniest joke in the world.”—G. B. Shaw With an Introduction by Eric Bentley and an Afterword by Norman Lloyd

Book excerpt: “Undoubtedly modern America’s finest literary tribute to the baseball since Bernard Malamud’s novel The Natural” (Chicago Tribune). Henry Granville, a baseball fanatic and high school teacher, spends hours in the basement with his young son Danny, introducing him to balls of all shapes and sizes. He even turns the basement into an indoor stadium. Danny quickly distinguishes himself from his peers, most conspicuously by his ability to throw perfectly with either arm—a feat virtually unheard of in baseball. But he also possesses a visionary gift that not even he understands. Danny becomes a superior athlete, skyrocketing through the minor leagues and into the majors where he experiences immediate success, breaking records held for decades. When a journalist, a former student of Henry’s and hungry for a national breakout story, exaggerates the teacher’s obsession and exposes him to the world as a monster, all hell breaks loose and the pressures of media and celebrity threaten to disrupt the world that Henry and Danny have created. A baseball novel—and much more—The Man with Two Arms is a story of the ways in which we protect, betray, forgive, love, and shape each other as we attempt to find our way through life. “Magical realism meets baseball in [this] debut novel . . . [A] Roy Hobbs-like narrative.” —Chicago Magazine “Sings with joy and tragedy . . . An amazing debut, as a lyrical paean to the national pastime and as a touching exploration of the life of a boy becoming a man both blessed and burdened with a unique and extraordinary talent.” —Flagpole
Download or read book Candida written by George Bernard Shaw and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-03-31 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Candida" by George Bernard Shaw is a captivating play that delves into themes of love, marriage, and societal expectations. Set in Victorian England, the play revolves around the complex dynamics of the relationship between Candida, a strong-willed and independent woman, and her husband, Reverend James Morell, a charismatic but self-absorbed clergyman. At the heart of the story is the arrival of Eugene Marchbanks, a young poet who becomes infatuated with Candida and challenges the conventions of love and marriage. As Marchbanks professes his love for Candida, tensions rise, and the characters confront their own desires, insecurities, and conflicting loyalties. Shaw uses sharp wit and incisive dialogue to explore the power dynamics within the Morell household and to dissect the illusions of romantic love and marital bliss. Through Candida's character, Shaw challenges traditional gender roles and societal expectations, presenting her as a symbol of female agency and independence. As the drama unfolds, Shaw invites audiences to question the nature of love, the meaning of marriage, and the dynamics of power in relationships. "Candida" is celebrated for its complex characters, witty repartee, and thought-provoking themes, cementing Shaw's reputation as one of the most influential playwrights of the 20th century.
