{"product_id":"9781101157664","title":"Plays by George Bernard Shaw","description":"George Bernard Shaw demanded truth and despised convention. He punctured hollow pretensions and smug prudishness—coating his criticism with ingenious and irreverent wit. In \u003ci\u003eMrs. Warren’s Profession\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e Arms and the Man\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e Candida\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMan and Superman\u003c\/i\u003e, the great playwright satirizes society, military heroism, marriage, and the pursuit of man by woman. From a social, literary, and theatrical standpoint, these four plays are among the foremost dramas of the age—as intellectually stimulating as they are thoroughly enjoyable.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“My way of joking is to tell the truth: It is the funniest joke in the world.”—G.
