The Intelligent Woman's Guide

Autor Bernard Shaw
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mai 2014
The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism, Capitalism, Sovietism, and FascismAs a lifelong socialist, Shaw believed that economic inequality was a poison destroying every aspect of human life, perverting family affections and the relations between the sexes. According to him, all British institutions were "corrupted at the root by pecuniary interest" - and idealism, integrity and any piecemeal attempts at political reform were futile in the face of the gross injustice built into the Empire's economic system.Begun in 1924 - the year of the British Labour Party's first period of office under Ramsay MacDonald (who hailed it as "the world's most important book since the Bible") - and first published in 1928, The Intelligent Woman's Guide draws on Shaw's decades of activism and remains a brilliant, thoughtprovoking classic of political propaganda.

Notă biografică

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) a Nobel Prizewinning Irish playwright and critic, as well as an ardent socialist and tireless activist for the working class.

Recenzii

The playwright's passionate and indignant guide for women, which tells how social injustice destroys lives, suddenly looks remarkably fresh.
He did his best in redressing the fateful unbalance between truth and reality, in lifting mankind to a higher rung of social maturity. He often pointed a scornful finger at human frailty, but his jests were never at the expense of humanity.
He was a Tolstoy with jokes, a modern Dr Johnson, a universal genius who on his own modest reckoning put even Shakespeare in the shade.
