George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was an Irish playwright, critic, polemicist and political activist. Born in Dublin, he moved to London when he turned twenty. Having rejected formal schooling, he educated himself by independent study in the reading room of the British Museum; he also began his career there by writing novels for which he could not find a publisher. His first success was as a music and literary critic, but he was drawn to drama and authored more than sixty plays during his career. Typically his work is leavened by a delightful vein of comedy, but nearly all of it bears earnest messages. He remains the only person to have been awarded both a Nobel Prize (1925) for his contribution to literature and an Oscar (1938) for Pygmalion.mehr

Autor

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was an Irish playwright, critic, and polemicist renowned for his wit, social criticism, and contributions to modern drama. Born on July 26, 1856, in Dublin, Ireland, Shaw became one of the most influential figures in English literature and theatre. Shaw's career as a playwright took off with the success of his early plays. Some of his most notable works include: "Mrs. Warren's Profession" (1893): A play that explores social issues and gender inequality through the story of a woman who runs a brothel. The play faced censorship due to its controversial themes but remains a significant work in Shaw's oeuvre. "Pygmalion" (1912): One of Shaw's most famous plays, it tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a flower girl who undergoes a transformation through the influence of a linguistics professor. The play explores themes of class, identity, and social mobility and was later adapted into the successful musical "My Fair Lady". "Saint Joan" (1923): A historical play about Joan of Arc that examines themes of individualism, heroism, and the conflict between personal belief and societal norms. "Arms and the Man" (1894): A comedy that satirizes romantic notions of war and heroism, offering a critical and humorous perspective on military conflicts. Shaw was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925 in recognition of his contributions to literature. His influence extends beyond the stage, as his writings have shaped discussions on social and political issues and inspired numerous adaptations and reinterpretations of his work.
