paperback. Condición: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. First Edition. New York. 1996. February 1996. Signet/New American Library. 1st Printing of This Signet Classic Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0451526139. Introduction by Daniel J. Leary. 138 pages. paperback. CE2613. Cover: Augustus John-'Portrait of George Bernard Shaw, ca. 1914'. keywords: Signet Classic Paperback Drama Ireland Literature England. DESCRIPTION - HEARTBREAK HOUSE reveals the great George Bernard Shaw in all his many guises: playwright of ideas, master of comedy, maker of epigrams, teacher, critic, philosopher, poet. A devastating commentary on World War I and a scathing portrait of British upper-class life, the play presents a world of moral and spiritual blight. Influenced by Chekhov's THE CHERRY ORCHARD, Shaw set HEARTBREAK HOUSE in a country manor. Shaw's mansion, however, is shaped like a ship and run by an eccentric eighty-eight-year-old sea captain, Captain Shotover. During one weekend party, this house is filled with a group of relatives and guests who form liaisons and love affairs while commenting nonstop on politics, economics, desire, war, education, religion, and science. With each of the characters assuming allegorical significance, the play details the disintegration of a society from within - its final collapse caused by forces it had previously ignored of denied. A brilliant social satire combining comedy, tragedy, and prophecy, HEARTBREAK HOUSE stands among Shaw's masterpieces and remains an incomparable dramatic classic. inventory #33556.
