1928 : en Grande-Bretagne, les femmes sont autorisées à voter dès 21 ans. Des millions d'entre elles rejoignent le corps électoral, mais il faut encore les former aux idées politiques. À qui donner sa voix? Que valent le socialisme et le communisme, et comment comprendre leur impact sur notre vie?
Dans ce guide aux entrées pratiques, George Bernard Shaw propose à ces nouvelles électrices de réfléchir aux idées en vigueur en s'émancipant de la domination masculine. En leur montrant que leur affranchissement passe par des idées économiques autant que politiques, il partage son envie de substituer à un Capitalisme mesquin un Socialisme éclairé et libérateur.
Cet essai au ton léger n'a pas pris une ride - et intéressera tout autant les hommes !

Pygmalion

- 9788728188026
Do you like 'Pretty Woman', with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere? Do you love 'Maid in Manhattan', starring Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes? And how about little orphan 'Annie'? Well, 'Pygmalion' is the play that paved the ways for these - and countless other - rags-to-riches films, plays, and books.

In it, phonetics scientist professor Henry Higgins and linguist Colonel Pickering make a bet. The scientist wagers that he can turn Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle into a woman with the poise and diction of a duchess.

She is given new clothes, speech lessons - and subjected to merciless ridicule. Becoming Shaw's most famous play, ´Pygmalion´ throws blinding light on the invidious habits and traditions at both levels of society.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was a giant of the literary and political world at the end of the 19th century and deep into the 20th century. Best known as a playwright, he was also a famous critic, political activist and polemicist, stoking controversy to provoke debate.

His first successful play was 'Arms and the Man', which was followed by classics including 'Man and Superman' and 'Pygmalion', which was turned into the musical 'My Fair Lady'.

In 1925, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. His opinions still divide critics, but he is widely acknowledged as second only to William Shakespeare as a playwright.

In the middle of the 1885 SerboBulgarian war, an enemy soldier escapes a cavalry charge by climbing up a drainpipe into Raina Petkoff's room. Raina is the daughter of one Major and engaged to another, but she chooses to save the soldier's life by concealing him.

Arms and the Man, named after the opening lines of Virgil's The Aeneid, is a play that humorously deals with the hypocrisy of humanity and the stupidity of war. It was among George Bernard Shaw's first commercial successes, and was included in a collection of plays he referred to as Plays Pleasant, along with Candida, You Never Can Tell, and The Man of Destiny. Having coined the term "chocolate soldier," the play has been staged multiple times in London's West End and on Broadway, and has been adapted into operetta and film.

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI voice.

Following the death of her father, Ann Whitefield becomes the ward of Jack Tanner and Roebuck Ramsden; Jack is a childhood friend, author of The Revolutionist's Handbook, and descendant of Don Juan, while Roebuck Ramsden is a respectable friend of her father's entirely opposed to Jack's philosophy. Also in mourning are Octavius Robinson, who is openly in love with Ann, and his sister Violet, who is secretly pregnant. So begins a journey that will take them across London, Europe, and to Hell.

George Bernard Shaw wrote Man and Superman between 1901 and 1903. It was first performed in 1905 with the third act excised; a part of that third act, Don Juan in Hell, was performed in 1907. The full play was not performed in its entirety until 1915.

Shaw explains that he wrote Man and Superman after being challenged to write on the theme of Don Juan. Once described as Shaw's most allusive play, Man and Superman refers to Nietzsche's concept of the Übermensch. It combines Nietzsche's argument that humanity is evolving towards a "superman" with the philosophy of Don Juan as a way to present his conception of society: namely, that it is women who are the driving force behind natural selection and the propagation of the species. To this end, Shaw includes as an appendix The Revolutionist's Handbook and Pocket Companion as written by the character Jack Tanner.

How He Lied to Her Husband

George Bernard Shaw
- Everest Media LLC
- 6 Février 2024
- 9798350099027
How He Lied to Her Husband is a short, one-act play by George Bernard Shaw, first performed in 1904. This comedic work serves as a satirical counterpart to Shaw's earlier play "Candida" and showcases Shaw's sharp wit and keen observation of human relationships and societal norms.

Set in London, the play revolves around a love triangle involving a young poet, Henry Apjohn, who is enamored with Aurora Bompas, a beautiful, married woman. The intrigue begins when Aurora discovers that Henry has written passionate love poems to her, which she fears might fall into the hands of her husband, Teddy Bompas. The situation takes a humorous turn when the husband confronts Henry, leading to unexpected developments that challenge traditional notions of love, honor, and marital fidelity.

Shaw cleverly subverts the conventional love triangle trope by infusing the narrative with irony and comedic misunderstandings. The characters, while seemingly adhering to societal expectations, reveal their true selves in the face of potential scandal, highlighting the absurdity and complexity of human relationships.

"How He Lied to Her Husband" is notable for its concise structure, sharp dialogue, and the way it playfully addresses themes of romantic idealism versus the realities of marriage. Shaw's comedic touch provides a light-hearted critique of the pretensions and vanities of high society, making the play a delightful and insightful exploration of love, jealousy, and the art of deception.

Set during the American Revolution. Richard Dudgeon, put off by the dour religious ferocity of his mother and many of his neighbors, declares himself to be the devil's disciple, befriends the town's disreputable characters, repulses minister Anthony Anderson's dutiful attempts to save his soul, and takes a certain grim satisfaction in the shocked disapproval of his neighbors, including Anderson's young wife Judith. But when the British Army under General Burgoyne approaches, seeking prominent rebels, of whom to make examples, Richard, Anthony, and Judith are faced with a crisis that knocks them all loose from their comfortable roles. Rudeness, repartee, role reversal, irony, heroics, and excessive authorial commentary abound.

Love Among The Artists (Unabridged)

George Bernard SHAW
Lu par David Arellano
- Slingshot Books LLC
- 11 Août 2022
- 9798822589926
Love Among the Artists was published in the United States in 1900 and in England in 1914, but it was written in 1881. In the ambience of chit-chat and frivolity among members of Victorian polite society a youthful Shaw describes his views on the arts, romantic love and the practicalities of matrimony. Dilettantes, he thinks, can love and settle down to marriage, but artists with real genius are too consumed by their work to fit that pattern. The dominant figure in the novel is Owen Jack, a musical genius, somewhat mad and quite bereft of social graces. From an abysmal beginning he rises to great fame and is lionized by socialites despite his unremitting crudity. As a study of Bohemia and its clash with conventional society, the novel is revealing of Shaw's belief that the true Artist has wholly different criteria than the ordinary person for the living of Life. Written as "a novel with a purpose," according to its author's preface, Love Among the Artists is an ironic novel with a serious intent.

The Quintessence Of Ibsenism (Unabridged)

George Bernard Shaw, a playwright with a few bones to pick of his own, undertakes a surgical analysis of the social philosophies underlying the work of Henrik Ibsen. Focusing his analysis on Ibsen's challenge to the conventional "ideals" which both Ibsen and Shaw consider the greatest evils in human society, Shaw summarizes and exposits sixteen of Ibsen's plays, seizing the opportunity to elucidate some of the principles dearest to himself. Some of the most striking passages reveal Shaw's radical feminist perspectives, some of which resonate as if a half-century ahead of their time. A fascinating revelation of the minds of two great and revolutionary writers , this always-timely book exposes hypocrisies still poisoning Society in the twenty-first century.

This play tells the story of Candida, the wife of a famous clergyman, the Reverend James Mavor Morell. Morell is a Christian Socialist, popular in the Church of England, but Candida is responsible for much of his success. Candida returns home briefly from a trip to London with Eugene Marchbanks, a young poet who wants to rescue her from what he presumes to be her dull family life. Marchbanks is in love with Candida and believes she deserves something more than just complacency from her husband. He considers her divine, and his love eternal. In his view, it is quite improper and humiliating for Candida to have to attend to petty household chores. Morell believes Candida needs his care and protection, but the truth is quite the contrary. Ultimately, Candida must choose between the two gentlemen. She reasserts her preference for the "weaker of the two" who, after a momentary uncertainty, turns out to be her husband Morell. Note that the pronunciation of Candida is how Shaw himself preferred it be pronounced.

Saint Joan: Preface (UNABRIDGED)

George Bernard SHAW

- Slingshot Books LLC
- 31 Août 2021
- 9781669315025
Saint Joan is a play by George Bernard Shaw about 15th-century French military figure Joan of Arc. Premiering in 1923, three years after her canonization by the Roman Catholic Church, the play reflects Shaw's belief that the people involved in Joan's trial acted according to what they thought was right. He wrote in his preface to the play: "There are no villains in the piece. Crime, like disease, is not interesting: it is something to be done away with by general consent, and that is all [there is] about it. It is what men do at their best, with good intentions, and what normal men and women find that they must and will do in spite of their intentions, that really concern us." (Wikipedia) Modern British author, critic, poet, and broadcaster Clive James, commenting on a book that changed his mind, wrote: "George Bernard Shaw, his preface to Saint Joan. Reading that wonderful stretch of prose started me on the road to a more human version of Christianity: a road I like to think that I am still pursuing."

Mrs. Warren's Profession (UNABRIDGED)

George Bernard SHAW

- 9781669305910
.Mrs. Warren's Profession is a play written by George Bernard Shaw in 1893, and first performed in London in 1902 but was banned after two performances because of the profession talked about. The play is about a former prostitute, now a madam (brothel proprietor), who attempts to come to terms with her disapproving daughter. It illustrates Shaw's belief that the act of prostitution was not caused by moral failure but by economic necessity. It also has a lot to say about the hypocrisy of English society that profited from many despised and illegal professions and used people in despicable ways but pretended to look down on them. This was probably why it was banned, not because of the 'profession' of Mrs. Warren, but because it exposed very highly placed people doing nasty things to make money. - Summary by phil chenevert and Wikipedia

The Man of Destiny

George Bernard Shaw
- Everest Media LLC
- 6 Février 2024
- 9798350099010
The Man of Destiny by George Bernard Shaw is a compelling one-act play that delves into an imagined episode in the life of the young Napoleon Bonaparte, long before he became the Emperor of France. Written in 1897, Shaw's play is not just a historical drama but also a witty exploration of character, destiny, and the interplay of personal ambition with moral and ethical considerations.

Set in Italy during the Napoleonic Wars, the play unfolds over the course of a single afternoon at an inn. The central plot revolves around a mysterious young lady who has intercepted a crucial letter intended for Napoleon. The encounter between the future emperor and this enigmatic woman becomes a battle of wits and wills, revealing much about Napoleon's character, his views on destiny and power, and his approach to both his personal and military challenges.

Shaw's sharp dialogue and insightful character studies provide a platform for examining broader themes such as the nature of leadership, the ethics of power, and the role of individual agency in the course of history. "The Man of Destiny" is a clever and entertaining piece that showcases Shaw's talent for combining historical narrative with probing social commentary and humor. It offers a unique glimpse into the early character of one of history's most iconic figures, all through the distinctive lens of one of the English language's most formidable playwrights.

Man and Superman

George Bernard Shaw
- Saga Egmont
- 14 Juillet 2022
- 9788728188118
Don Juan is more than just an infamous womaniser. For he has been the 'Don Juan' of Bryon's epic poem, the 'Don Giovanni' of Mozart's opera and the main man in the play 'The Trickster of Seville and the Stone Guest'. George Bernard Shaw added to Don Juan's many identities with his play 'Man and Superman', which is a four-act play based on the Don Juan theme.

It features John Tanner, an eloquent anarchist who is one of two men named in Mr. Whitefield's will to care for his daughter Ann. The other, wealthy old Roebuck Ramsden, is rejected as guardian by Ann in favour of Tanner. The "political firebrand and confirmed bachelor" is not keen at all: he fears the guardianship will interfere with his commitment to anarchy.

But when the two minds collide, the results are unexpected. While Ann gently leads Tanner to rethink his revolutionary ideas, the determined singleton finds himself falling for Ann, despite his close friend wanting to marry her.

Will the rebel lose his cause? And who will prevail in the romance race? 'Man and Superman' is perfect for fans of the play 'Private Lives' by Oscar Wilde and 'Endgame' by Samuel Beckett.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was a giant of the literary and political world at the end of the 19th century and deep into the 20th century. Best known as a playwright, he was also a famous critic, political activist and polemicist, stoking controversy to provoke debate.

Le parfait Wagnérien et autres écrits sur Wagner

Bernard Shaw
- Les Belles Lettres éditions
- 18 Février 2022
- 9782251917344
Hormis Pygmalion, dans sa version cinématographique My Fair Lady, l'oeuvre de Bernard Shaw est aujourd'hui presque complètement inconnue du public français. Parmi les mélomanes, rares sont ceux qui ont lu le Parfait wagnérien ou qui en connaissent même l'existence ; plus rares encore ceux qui savent que ce célèbre essai était le fruit d'une familiarité professionnelle avec la musique.
C'est en effet comme critique musical, et rapidement l'un des plus talentueux d'Europe, que Shaw est entré dans la carrière journalistique et littéraire. Pendant près d'une vingtaine d'années (de 1876 à 1894), il a tenu avec un brio croissant une chronique musicale régulière dans la presse londonienne ; et même lorsqu'il cessa cette activité, il n'en continua pas moins à publier, de temps à autre, des articles marquants.
Wagner et les interprètes wagnériens de son temps constituant le massif central de ses écrits sur la musique, ceux qui en traitent ont été ici rassemblés. Mais cette anthologie ne devrait pas intéresser seulement les wagnériens. Comme, dans les articles de Shaw, Wagner voisine souvent avec d'autres compositeurs précédents ou contemporains ; et que ses principaux interprètes outre-Manche, tant à l'opéra qu'au concert, venaient principalement de l'étranger et s'illustraient aussi dans d'autres répertoires, c'est une large part de la création et de la vie musicales européennes dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle qui s'y trouvent évoquée par un critique d'une indépendance de jugement et d'une verve incomparables.
