eBooks di Titolo C di George Bernard Shaw di Formato Pdf

George Bernard Shaw (Dublino, 1856 – Ayot St. Lawrence, Hertfordshire 1950). Commediografo, narratore e saggista, nasce da famiglia protestante irlandese e, dopo la separazione dei genitori, a vent’anni raggiunge a Londra la madre e cerca la sua strada. Si avvicina al Fabianesimo, movimento socialista che influenzò molto gli intellettuali inglesi dell’epoca, e a partire dal 1890 inizia la sua attività di drammaturgo realizzando opere indimenticabili come Androclo e il leone (1913), Pigmalione (1914), Casa Cuorinfranto (1920). Nel 1925 riceve il Premio Nobel per la Letteratura, coronamento della sua carriera artistica. Una frase attribuita a Shaw sarà impiegata da Robert Kennedy nel 1968 durante la sua campagna elettorale: «Alcuni uomini vedono le cose così come sono e dicono: “Perché?”. Io sogno le cose come non sono mai state e dico: “Perché no?”».

CandidaA Play. E-book. Formato PDF George Bernard Shaw   -  Diamond Book Publishing, 2019  - 

The Reverend Morell, a socialist preacher, brings a penniless young poet, Eugene Marchbanks, into his home, which is dominated by his fascinating wife, Candida. With its single stage setting and small cast of six characters, Shaw’s play is deceptively simple. Centered on a romantic triangle and parodying courtly love and the domestic drama of Ibsen, Candida also abounds with classical allusions, the fervor of a religious revival, and poetic inspiration and aspirations.
