Culled from Shaw's reviews, prefaces, letters to actors and critics, and other writings, this book offers a fascinating portrait of the Elizabethan playwright by his most outspoken critic.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925 and was one of the great literary minds of his day, in addition to being one of its most entertaining personalities. In his youth he became an ardent socialist and wrote five novels, which are still very entertaining, although Shaw truly found his creative identity on the stage and lectern. While he was a great dramatist, it is possible to argue that Shaw's prefaces are ...

Anläßlich seines 50. Todestags erinnert unsere Sammlung der bekanntesten Anekdoten um Bernard Shaw an den »grandiosen Feuerkopf«, wie ihn ein Zeitgenosse treffend charakterisiert hat, an die an außergewöhnliche Persönlichkeit des irischen Dramatikers, der zeit seines Lebens im Mittelpunkt der öffentlichen Aufmerksamkeit stand, Als »geborener Clown« (Shaw über Shaw) und scharfzüngiger Redner, Kritiker und Essayist entzückte er nicht nur im Thea...

Im Zentrum Bernard Shaws Anliegens stehen nun nicht mehr, wie bei den früheren Werken, Kritik an den gesellschaftlichen Bedingungen und Aufruf zur Veränderung der äußeren Welt, sondern die inneren Möglichkeiten und notwendigen Bewußtseinsveränderungen des einzelnen, der seine Chance zur individuellen Erfahrung ergreifen muß, um die vitalisierende Kraft des eigenen Lebens zu spüren, die wir als Glück empfinden.

Bernard Shaw, geboren am 26. Juli 1856 in Dublin, ist am 2. November 1950 in Ayot St. Lawrence/Hertfordshire gestorben. Er gilt als meistgespielter Dramatiker unseres Jahrhunderts, seine Stücke zählen zu den weltweit erfolgreichsten aller Zeiten. 1925 wurde Shaw mit dem Nobelpreis ausgezeichnet.
