Àííîòàöèÿ: In the opening scene of Arms and the Man, which establishes the play's embattled Balkan setting, young Raina learns of her suitor's heroic exploits in combat. She rhapsodizes that it is "a glorious world for women who can see its glory and Then who can act its romance!" Soon, however, such romantic falsifications of love and warfare are brilliantly and at times hilariously unmasked in a comedy that reveals George Bernard Shaw at his best as an acute social observer and witty provocateur.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Major Barbara is thought to be one of Shaws most Controversial works. While trying to give a realistic presentation of how he saw Christianity, many accused him of blasphemy. Major Barbara Undershaft thought it hypocrisy that her church accepted charity from companies, such as a whisky distiller, and eventually decided that it would be more fulfilling to bring salvation to people who had plenty of vises, the people in need. Shaw intended to show that no matter how terrible the donor may be, the donation can produce good

Àííîòàöèÿ: This volume contains a small collection of plays written by Bernard Shaw. These thought-provoking plays aim to challenge the audience—s moral complacency apropos serious social issues and injustices. Unusual and intriguing, they will greatly appeal to fans of Shaw—s work. The plays contained herein include: —Widowers— Houses—, —The Philanderer—, and —Mrs. Warren—s Profession—. George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) was an Irish playwright who co-founded the London School of Economics. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.

Àííîòàöèÿ: A short-story collection dramatizing the author's views of the human condition.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Douglas Grimes, penniless ex-pilot, is waiting for the future to start living again. A fortune in cash by a dead body in New York City brings opportunity. Miles Fabian, debonair, jet-set con-man, shows the way.... Fast cars, fancy hotels, fancier woman. St Moritz, Paris, Florence,Rome Racehorses, blue movies, gambling, gold. Wild and woolly schemes, all wonderfully profitable. But the day of reckoning must dawn. Who will appear to claim the stolen money? And when?

Àííîòàöèÿ: The Young Lions is a vivid and classic novel that portrays the experiences of ordinary soldiers fighting World War II. Told from the points of view of a perceptive young Nazi, a jaded American film producer, and a shy Jewish boy just married to the love of his life, Shaw conveys, as no other novelist has since, the scope, confusion, and complexity of war.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes Lyon, the youngest daughter of the Earl of Strathmore, was born on 4 August 1900. It might reasonably have been expected that she would lead a life of ease and privilege but few could have imagined the profound effect she would have on Britain and its people. Queen Elizabeth's long life spanned the whole of the twentieth century and this official biography tells not only her story but, through it, that of the country she loved so devotedly. She first came to prominence after the announcement of her engagement to Prince Albert, the King's second son, and she brought a sense of ease and informality to the Royal Family, both privately and in public. Becoming Queen Consort in 1936, after the crisis of Edward VIII's abdication, she was unstinting in her support of her husband, now King George VI, and would continue to be so throughout the turbulent years ahead. Indeed, during the Second World War, Queen Elizabeth, the King and the Princesses came to embody Britain's resistance against her enemies. But her greatest challenge was to come. In 1952, George VI died of cancer, leaving Queen Elizabeth a widow at only fifty-one. And though her support of him is often noted, his of her is perhaps too often overlooked. She was devastated but, true to her nature, determined to carve out a new role for herself as Queen Mother, which she did - to splendid effect - for the next fifty years. Drawing on her private correspondence and other hitherto unpublished material from the Royal Archives, William Shawcross vividly reveals the qualities that endeared her both to those who knew and loved her personally and to the nation as a whole. Her zest for life, whether on a Royal Tour or at Royal Ascot, her devotion to duty and her love and patronage of the arts are all here but so, too, is a sense of the person beneath the facade: the witty girl who won the affections of soldiers convalescing at Glamis in the First World War; the assured young Duchess of York; the Queen, at last feeling able to look the East End in the face at the height of the Blitz; the Queen Mother, constant and supportive to both her family and her country throughout her long widowhood.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Der kleine Angsthase ist sehr furchtsam und traut sich uberhaupt nichts zu. Warum er aber zum Schluss doch noch eine Tapferkeitsmedaille bekommt, das hat E.Shaw fur alle nacherlebbar geschrieben und gezeichnet, und allen angstlichen Kindern will sie damit Mut machen, es dem Hasen in ihrer Geschichte gleichzutun.

Àííîòàöèÿ: A gritty, terse glimpse at life through the indomitable lens of a crime classic master. Portraying the oddities and kinks of human behaviour as well as the prejudices inherent in nations, Freeling casts a loving and sometimes scathing eye on humanity in this accomplished novel. Henri Castang is exposed as a raw, vulnerable man when faced with the cruel truth that he had a part, a share and even responsibility in the deaths of others throughout Europe.
