{"product_id":"9781455403301","title":"Arms and the Man","description":"Arms and the Man was George Bernard Shaw's first commercially successful play. It is a comedy about idealized love versus true love. A young Serbian woman idealizes her war-hero fiance and thinks the Swiss soldier who begs her to hide him a terrible coward. After the war she reverses her opinions, though the tangle of relationships must be resolved before her ex-soldier can conclude the last of everyone's problems with Swiss exactitude.\u003cp\u003eThe play premiered to an enthusiastic reception. Only one man booed Shaw at the end, to which Shaw replied: \"My dear fellow, I quite agree with you, but what are we two against so many?\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B\u0026R Samizdat Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47173454627056,"sku":"9781455403301","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781455403301_p0.jpg?v=1763855897","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781455403301","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
