eBooks di Titolo M 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?”».
