Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Heartbreak House" by George Bernard Shaw is a witty and incisive comedy that serves as a scathing critique of the British upper class and their complacency in the face of impending disaster. Set on the eve of World War I, the play takes place in the eccentric household of Captain Shotover, a retired seafarer whose home serves as a microcosm of British society. As various guests gather at Heartbreak House, they reveal themselves to be shallow, self-absorbed, and disconnected from the realities of the world around them. Through sharp dialogue and biting satire, Shaw exposes the moral bankruptcy of the ruling class and the folly of their pursuit of pleasure and material wealth. At its core, "Heartbreak House" is a cautionary tale about the consequences of moral apathy and political indifference. Shaw uses the characters and setting of the play to explore themes of power, corruption, and the decline of Western civilization, offering a searing indictment of the social and political forces that led to the cataclysm of World War I.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1919, Heartbreak House is an examination of the failings of the European leisure classes before World War I—failings that author George Bernard Shaw blamed for the war, and that he predicted would quickly lead to another, longer war. The play is set in an English country house, where representatives of every type of English society have gathered at the home of the seemingly-mad Captain Shotover. Hidebound aristocrats and cultured bohemians, wealthy capitalists and radical idealists, prim moralists and idle libertines, are all laid bare in one of Shaw’s bleakest and yet most absurd plays. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pygmalion, Heartbreak House, and Saint Joan are widely considered to be three of the most important in the canon of modern British theatre.Pygmalion (1912) was a world-wide smash hit from the time of its premiere in Vienna 1913 and it has remained popular to this day. Shaw was awarded an Academy Award in 1938 for his screenplay of the film adaptation. It was, of course, later made into the much-loved musical My Fair Lady.Heartbreak House (1917), which was finally performed in 1920 and published in 1921, bares the hallmarks of European modernism and a formal break from Shaw's previous work. A meditation on the war and the resultant decline in European aristocratic culture, it was perhaps staged too soon after theconflict; indeed, it did not have the success of his earlier works, which was likely due to his experimental aesthetics combined with a war-weary audience that sought lighter fare. However, while this contemporary reception was muted, it is now recognised as a modernist masterpiece.Saint Joan (1923) marked Shaw's resurrection and apotheosis. The first major work written of Joan of Arc after her canonization (1920), the play interrogates the origins of European nationalism in the post-war era. Like Pygmalion, it was an immediate world-wide hit and secured Shaw the Nobel Prizefor Literature in 1925. Drawing upon the transcripts of Joan's trial, Shaw blended his trademark wit to produce a hybrid genre of comedy and history play. Despite the historical setting, Saint Joan is highly accessible and continues to delight audiences.
