商品描述

Augustus Does His Bit A True-To-Life Farce By George Bernard Shaw Classic Drama Great Playwrights George Bernard Shaw (26 July 1856 – 2 November 1950) was an Irish playwright and a co-founder of the London School of Economics. Although his first profitable writing was music and literary criticism, in which capacity he wrote many highly articulate pieces of journalism, his main talent was for drama, and he wrote more than 60 plays. He was also an essayist, novelist and short story writer. Nearly all his writings address prevailing social problems, but have a vein of comedy which makes their stark themes more palatable. Issues which engaged Shaw's attention included education, marriage, religion, government, health care, and class privilege. He was most angered by what he perceived as the exploitation of the working class. An ardent socialist, Shaw wrote many brochures and speeches for the Fabian Society. He became an accomplished orator in the furtherance of its causes, which included gaining equal rights for men and women, alleviating abuses of the working class, rescinding private ownership of productive land, and promoting healthy lifestyles. For a short time he was active in local politics, serving on the London County Council.

經典戲劇
偉大的劇作家

喬治·伯納德·肖(1856年7月26日-1950年11月2日)是一位愛爾蘭劇作家,也是倫敦政治經濟學院的共同創辦人。儘管他最初的盈利寫作是音樂和文學評論,並在這方面撰寫了許多極具表達力的新聞作品,但他的主要才華在於戲劇,他創作了超過60部劇作。他同時也是一位散文家、小說家和短篇故事作家。他幾乎所有的著作都涉及當前的社會問題,但都帶有一絲喜劇色彩,使得其嚴峻的主題更易於接受。肖所關注的議題包括教育、婚姻、宗教、政府、醫療保健和階級特權。

他最為憤怒的是他所認為的對工人階級的剝削。作為一名熱心的社會主義者,肖為費邊社撰寫了許多小冊子和演講稿。他成為了一位出色的演說家,推動其倡導的事業,包括爭取男女平等權利、減輕工人階級的虐待、撤銷生產土地的私有制,以及促進健康的生活方式。短暫的時間內,他活躍於地方政治,曾任倫敦郡議會成員。
