Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man and Superman: A Comedy and a Philosophy Bernard Shaw - Shaw began writing Man and Superman in 1901 and determined to write a play that would encapsulate the new century's intellectual inheritance. Shaw drew not only on Byron's verse satire, but also on Shakespeare, the Victorian comedy fashionable in his early life, and from authors from Conan Doyle to Kipling. In this powerful drama of ideas, Shaw explores the role of the artist, the function of women in society, and his theory of Creative Evolution. As Stanley Weintraub says in his new introduction, this is "the first great twentieth-century English play" and remains a classic exposé of the eternal struggle between the sexes.

Book excerpt: Exclusive to Penguin Classics: the definitive text of the first great twentieth-century English play and a classic exposé of the eternal struggle between the sexes—part of the official Bernard Shaw Library A Penguin Classic After the death of her father, Ann Whitefield becomes the joint ward of two men: the respectable Roebuck Ramsden and John Tanner, author of “The Revolutionist’s Handbook.” Believing marriage would prevent him from achieving his higher intellectual and political ambitions, Tanner is horrified to discover that Ann intends to marry him, and he flees to Spain with the determined young woman in hot pursuit. The chase even leads them to the underworld, where the characters’ alter egos discuss questions of human nature and philosophy in a lively debate in a scene often performed separately as “Don Juan in Hell.” In Man and Superman, Shaw combined seriousness with comedy to create a satirical and buoyant exposé of the eternal struggle between the sexes. This is the definitive text produced under the editorial supervision of Dan H. Laurence. The volume also includes Shaw’s preface of 1903 and his appendix, “The Revolutionist’s Handbook”; the cast list from the first production of Man and Superman; and a list of his principal works.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man and Superman: A Comedy and a Philosophy by Bernard Shaw Man and Superman is a massive drama filled with light comedy and deep philosophy, based on Nietzsche's theory of the Abermensch or superman. Acts I, II, and IV play like a romantic comedy with a bite. Ann Whitefield relentlessly pursues dedicated bachelor Jack Tanner, not giving up until he agrees to marry her. Nobody likes Ann, least of all Tanner; she's a selfish bully. But, she is imbued with the Life Force, which makes her charmingly irresistible. By contrast, the third act of the play takes place in hell and the main characters take on the roles of Mozart's Don Giovanni. There, they engage in a long philosophical discussion about the eternal conflicts between men and women and heaven and hell. This third act provides a philosophical context within which to understand the other three acts, giving the comedy and romance of Acts I, II, and IV a deeper meaning. In execution, however, Act III is almost always removed. The third act has also been performed separately, as a single act titled Don Juan in Hell.
