Fakta
George Bernard Shaw's *The Collected Works* is a comprehensive anthology that encapsulates the wit and intellectual rigor of one of the most celebrated playwrights and critics of the early 20th century. With a distinctive style blending sharp dialogue with social commentary, Shaw's works explore themes of class struggle, gender dynamics, and the complexities of human relationships. This compilation not only includes his most renowned plays, such as *Pygmalion* and *Saint Joan*, but also a myriad of essays that reflect his views on morality, politics, and the theater itself, embodying the essence of the Fabian Society to which he belonged. Born in 1856 in Dublin, Shaw's upbringing and experiences within the socio-political landscape of Britain profoundly influenced his literary output. He was an outspoken advocate for social reform and a critic of established norms, which is vividly reflected in his ability to provoke thought through humor and irony. His diverse exposure to music, art, and literature enriched his writing, making him a pivotal figure in the transition from Victorian sensibilities to modernist thoughts. *The Collected Works* is highly recommended for both avid readers of literature and those interested in social critique. Shaw's ability to intertwine entertainment with profound philosophical questions makes this collection essential, offering a window into the mind of a man who dared to challenge conventions and inspire change.
