The book covers Shaw's career as a dramatist and critic in some detail, including his puritanical resistance to Shakespeare. This biography of George Bernard Shaw's writings and political beliefs was written by G. K. Chesterton, who was in the perfect position to do it. Although he was a close friend, he vehemently opposed Shaw's progressive socialism. His analysis of Shaw retains the same lightness of touch and wit as his earlier writings. The book offers an insightful and up-to-date analysis of Shaw's politics and philosophy, as well as the progressive orthodoxy that emerged in the 20th century as a result. The book serves as a fantastic introduction to Shaw's works and the culture of the time they were produced. The majority of individuals either claim to agree with Bernard Shaw or claim to not comprehend him. One and only G. K. Chesterton could comprehend him. The book works because Bernard Shaw is both quick-witted and verbose. A writer who has a quick mind for ideas could end up working more slowly than necessary. Every allusion or analogy requires him to pause and reiterate the historical similarities. The man's path is blocked by the very jungle of his ideas. The play must come before the introduction due to inevitable artistic necessity.

George Bernard Shaw's witty comedy of manners, Pygmalion includes an introduction by Nicholas Grene in Penguin Classics.Pygmalion both delighted and scandalized its first audiences in 1914. A brilliantly witty reworking of the classical tale of the sculptor Pygmalion, who falls in love with his perfect female statue, it is also a barbed attack on the British class system and a statement of Shaw's feminist views. In Shaw's hands, the phoneticist Henry Higgins is the Pygmalion figure who believes he can transform Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower girl, into a duchess at ease in polite society. The one thing he overlooks is that his 'creation' has a mind of her own. Adapted into the Oscar-winning musical film My Fair Lady starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison in 1964, PygmalionThis is the definitive text produced under the editorial supervision of Dan H. Laurence, with an illuminating introduction by Nicholas Grene, discussing the language and politics of the play. Also included in this volume is Shaw's preface, as well as his 'sequel' written for the first publication in 1916, to rebut public demand for a more conventially romantic ending.Although essentially shy, Dublin-born George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) created the persona of GBS, the showman, satirist, conversationalist, critic, pundit, wit, intellectual buffoon and dramatist. Commentators brought a new adjective into English: 'Shavian', a term used to embody all his brilliant qualities. Deeply concerned by what he saw as the exploitation of the working class, Shaw was an active Socialist and a brilliant platform speaker. He remains the only person ever to have been awarded both the Nobel Prize in Literature and an Oscar.If you enjoyed Pygmalion, you might like Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, also available in Penguin Classics.

Co spojuje vysvalenou americkou mlátičku Hobbse a elegantního britského zabijáka Shawa? Jeden všehoschopný gauner, kterého by sami zastavit nedokázali. Dwayne Johnson a Jason Statham řádí v akční jízdě, která je o poznání rychlejší a zběsilejší. Když ti dva stanuli poprvé tváří v tvář ve filmu Rychle a zběsile 7, byla z toho nenávist na první pohled. Prodloužená ruka Spravedlnosti Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) a zběhlý agent britské tajné služby Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) byli proti své vůli nakonec donuceni spolupracovat a navzdory nekonečné averzi se jim to poměrně dařilo. I proto je asi nemělo zaskočit, že dostali společnou zakázku na nalezení a zneškodnění jedné tajné britské agentky, která údajně přešla do nepřátelského tábora. Shaw má v téhle operaci poměrně jasnou motivaci, protože jejich společným cílem je jeho mladší sestra Hattie (Vanessa Kirby). Řečeno slovy klasika, všechno je jinak, což Hobbs i Shaw zjistí hned poté, co ji najdou. Hattie se totiž na vlastní pěst pokusila zastavit jistého pana Brixtona (Idris Elba), který usiluje o vyhlazení poloviny lidstva, a sebrala mu něco, co k tomu dost potřebuje. A protože Brixton má materiální a překvapivě i fyzickou převahu, musí vzít Hobbs i Shaw nohy na ramena. Honička vede přes deštivý Londýn, radioaktivitou zamořené okolí Černobylu až na Hobbsovu rodnou Samou v Polynésii. Jenže před některými lidmi se prostě utéct nedá.

A new collection of Shaw''s major political writings presents an opportunity to reflect on his influential role as a public intellectual. At the forefront of economic and political debate from the 1880s to the 1950s, George Bernard Shaw was once the most widely read socialist writer in the English language, and his lifelong crusade against inequality and exploitation is far from irrelevant today. The thorough interpenetration of Shaw''s literary and political engagements is an unusual story in modern literature, and this volume offers a portrait of Shaw as a political artist in the purest possible sense: that is, as a writer of essays, articles, pamphlets, and books with explicitly and expressly political aims. The selected writings in this volume showcase Shaw''s most influential and most accomplished political work, but also provide a cross-section that is representative of the whole of his long career. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Robert Shaw unforgettably commanded attention as the weathered seaman Captain Quint in the blockbuster sensation, Jaws. But what came before and after that landmark film is as dramatic as the hunt for the great white shark itself. Capturing the many facets of the vibrant, generous, and sometimes polarizing man is his nephew, Christopher, who explores the forces that shaped a dynamic personality-including Robert''s indomitable mother, his deeply troubled father, and his activist sister, Joanna, with whom Robert shared an unbreakable bond. Out of the traumatic events of their childhood in the Orkney Islands and Cornwall, Mrs. Shaw pushed her children to pursue their dreams. For Robert, that dream was acting and writing. Despite a storied career on the British and American stage-as both performer and playwright-and a string of hit films including From Russia with Love, A Man for All Seasons, The Sting, and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, international celebrity eluded Robert... until he was summoned to star in ''a little horror film'' called Jaws. What happened on-screen was unforgettable. What happened off-screen was chaos. Now Christopher Shaw Myers reveals the true story of the making of the classic. Jaws would become both an artistic success and a worldwide triumph for Robert Shaw. Tragically, for a man shadowed by his father''s demons, it would also signal the beginning of the end. Drawing on family recollections, personal letters, scrapbooks, recordings, extensive interviews, and a lifetime of his own memories, Christopher paints a unique, intimate, and honest portrait of a man he was proud to call his uncle.

George Bernard Shaw''s public career began in arts journalism-as an art critic, a music critic, and, most famously, a drama critic-and he continued writing on cultural and artistic matters throughout his life. His total output of essays and reviews numbers in the hundreds, dwarfing even his prolific playwriting career. This volume of Shaw''s Major Cultural Essays introduces readers to the wealth and diversity of Shaw''s cultural writings from across the breadth of his professional life, beginning around 1890 and ending in 1950. Topics covered include the theatre, of course, but also music, opera, poetry, the novel, the visual arts, philosophy, censorship, and education. Major figures discussed at length in these works include Ibsen, Wagner, Nietzsche, Shakespeare, Wilde, Mozart, Beethoven, Keats, Rodin, Zola, Ruskin, Dickens, Tolstoy, and Poe, among many others. Coursing with Shavian flair and vigor, these essays showcase the author''s broad aesthetic sensibilities, trace the intersection of culture and politics in Shaw''s worldview, and provide a fascinating window into the vibrant cultural moment of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Paříž, New York, Švýcarsko, zapadlý kout amerického venkova - to všechno jsou místa, která Irwin Shaw, jeden z nejlepších amerických prozaiků 20. století, mistrovsky zachytil ve své povídkové sbírce Láska v temné ulici. Věrně zobrazené prostředí však nebylo jeho jedinou doménou, vynikal především jako výborný vypravěč. Jako málokterý spisovatel dovedl spojit zvučný, mužný a někdy lehce ironický projev svých povídek s nevšedně jemným pochopením i těch nejniternějších pohnutek lidského chování. Shawův svět je v podstatě tragický, přestože on sám zdaleka není pesimista. V jeho civilních příbězích nejednou zazáří lidská něha, nesobeckost, obětavost a upřímný cit. Shaw obdivuje člověka a přes všechny výhrady věří v jeho morální sílu. Povídky dosahují po formální stránce vysoké úrovně, vynikají jak vtipnými dialogy, tak skvělou kresbou charakterů a Irwin Shaw v nich dokazuje, že je právem považován za mistra tohoto žánru.

George Bernard Shaw (*26. 7. 1856 - 2. 11. 1950} byl anglický dramatik, prozaik a esejista irského původu, nositel Nobelovy ceny za literaturu za rok 1925. Své pravé umělecké pole našel Shaw až v dramatické tvorbě, ve které uplatnil svůj jasný, kritický a ironický intelekt. Stal se zakladatelem moderního anglického dramatu a nejvýznamnějším anglickým dramatikem po Williamu Shakespearovi. České divadlo, po staletí ovlivňováno a poznamenáno shakespearovským kultem, ve 20. století obrátilo pozornost k dílu Shakespearova protichůdce a představitele typické anglické komedie, jakým byl G.B.Shaw. Je typické, že jej neprve objevilo Národní divadlo a postupně uvádělo jeho díla, která však nedosáhla většího množství repríz /Člověk nikdy neví (1906), Živnost paní Warenové (1907), Motýl (1908)/; první velký úspěch zaznamenala hra Pygmalion (1913), která se stala oporou kmenového repertoáru NDa hrála se až do dvacátých let. Dalším velkým úspěchem byl Caesar a Kleopatra (1917). Ještě ve válečném období upoutával české prostředí svým odsudkem války a svou pacifistickou tendencí. Nové nastudování Živnosti paní Warenové je podstatně úspěšnější a i další hry G.B Shawa (Pekelník, Kateřina Veliká, Milionářka, Svatá Jana, Androkles a lev a další) , které mají na repertoáru už i další česká divadla (Vinohradské, Realistické, Komorní a i divadla v Brně aj.) přibližují jeho dílo skoro v jeho celistvosti Naše divadlo se tedy může pyšnit tím, že vycítilo velikost G.B.Shawa již v jeho prvních jevištních rozbězích. Nešlo mu přitom jen o jeho zábavnost, která zaručuje divácký úspěch; šlo mu o životní a světový názor dramatika, který byl blízký české povaze svým úsměvným skepticismem a sarkastickou kritičností.

Dear Marilyn offers a fresh insight into the life of the most-famous woman Hollywood has ever created. Through the stunning photography of Monroe’s close friend and confidant, the photographer, journalist and filmmaker Sam Shaw, this book brings Marilyn Monroe to life in a spectacular celebration of the centenary of her birth.In Shaw’s own voice, through his diary entries and intimate correspondences with Monroe, we learn of their close friendship and an insider-view that charts her rise to stardom, the challenges she faced and her quest to find artistic authenticity.

Spolupracoval s Williamem Archerem, který napsal osnovu, ale po neshodách spolupráce skončila. O sedm let později nabídl Shaw divadlu Independen Theatre hru Widowers' Houses, známou u nás jako Domy pana Sartoria, což byla přepsaná verze původního projektu. Premiéra byla v prosinci, hrála se dvakrát, ale v tisku se o ní diskutovalo čtrnáct dní. Stala se předmětem debaty, na níž se polarizoval pohled na svět. Shaw byl spokojený. Našel si po kritické tvorbě nové a daleko průraznější medium pro své názory.Osoby a obsazení: Dr. Harry Trench (Miloš Willig), William de Burg Cokane, jeho přítel (Ladislav Navrátil), Sartorius (Bedřich Veverka), Blanche, jeho dcera (Blanka Vikusová), Lickcheese (Vojta Plachý-Tůma), panská (Taťana Vavřincová) a číšník (Václav Švec)Režie: Evžen Sokolovský a Vladimír Procházka.

Now with a new chapter.The official inside story of the life, death and remarkable discovery of history''s most controversial monarch.On 22 August 1485 Richard III was killed at Bosworth Field, the last king of England to die in battle. His victorious opponent, Henry Tudor (the future Henry VII), went on to found one of our most famous ruling dynasties. Richard''s body was displayed in undignified fashion for two days in nearby Leicester and then hurriedly buried in the church of the Greyfriars. Fifty years later, at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries, the king''s grave was lost - its contents believed to be emptied into the river Soar and Richard III''s reputation buried under a mound of Tudor propaganda. Its culmination was Shakespeare''s compelling portrayal of a deformed and murderous villain, written over a hundred years after Richard''s death. Now - in an incredible find - Richard III''s remains have been uncovered beneath a car park in Leicester. The King''s Grave traces this remarkable journey. In alternate chapters, Philippa Langley, whose years of research and belief that she would find Richard in this exact spot inspired the project, reveals the inside story of the search for the king''s grave, and historian Michael Jones tells of Richard''s fifteenth-century life and death. The result is a compelling portrayal of one of our greatest archaeological discoveries, allowing a complete re-evaluation of our most controversial monarch - one that discards the distortions of later Tudor histories and puts the man firmly back into the context of his times.

The unbelievable true story of how one man stole tens of thousands of priceless artifacts and human remains from around the world—and the FBI’s massive undertaking to set things right.In The Grave Robber, Tim Carpenter, former FBI Lead Investigator on the Art Crime Team, recounts one of the most extraordinary and unsettling cases in the history of art theft. Over the course of five decades, a lone graverobber accumulated an illicit trove of over 42,000 artifacts from cultures across the globe, including Native American, Haitian, Chinese, and others. The stolen items included nearly 500 ancestral remains, carefully looted from sacred burial sites and cultural heritage locations. Carpenter’s team, driven by an unwavering commitment to justice, embarks on a harrowing journey to track down this elusive criminal and uncover the full scope of the theft. What they find is nothing short of staggering: an illegal collection of immense historical and cultural significance, hidden away in a Midwestern home.Part true crime narrative, part procedural, The Grave Robber offers a gripping, behind-the-scenes look at the meticulous work involved in tracking down one of the most prolific art thieves in history. Carpenter takes readers inside the FBI’s groundbreaking investigation, detailing the complex challenges of recovering stolen cultural artifacts and the legal and moral dilemmas of repatriating them to their rightful communities. Along the way, the Bureau’s efforts to confront these crimes evolve, as they come to terms with the deep historical wounds caused by such looting—especially the desecration of Native American graves and ancestral sites. With rare access to both the investigation and the impacted communities, Carpenter’s narrative sheds light on the lengths the FBI and tribal representatives go to in their pursuit of justice.As the case progresses, the narrative expands from a tense pursuit of a criminal to a larger reckoning with history and cultural heritage. The repatriation of these sacred objects and remains to their rightful owners becomes an act of restoration—not just of physical artifacts, but of dignity and respect for the communities whose ancestors were so violently wronged. The story of The Grave Robber is one of redemption and transformation: for the FBI, which redefined its approach to cultural crimes, and for the tribes and cultures who finally see justice done. This riveting account of a stolen past and the quest to make it right reads like a thriller, but it is ultimately a story of healing, responsibility, and the importance of preserving history for future generations.

A lively new biography of Tutankhamun―published for the hundredth anniversary of his tomb’s modern discovery The discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922 sparked imaginations across the globe. While Howard Carter emptied its treasures, Tut-mania gripped the world―and in many ways, never left. But who was the “boy king,” and what was his life really like? Garry J. Shaw tells the full story of Tutankhamun’s reign and his modern rediscovery. As pharaoh, Tutankhamun had to manage an empire, navigate influential courtiers, and suffer the pain of losing at least two children―all before his nineteenth birthday. Shaw explores the boy king’s treasures and possessions, from a lock of his grandmother’s hair to a reed cut with his own hands. He looks too at Ankhesenamun, Tutankhamun’s wife, and the power queens held. This is a compelling new biography that weaves together intriguing details about ancient Egyptian culture, its beliefs, and its place in the wider world.

Profesor se vsadí s přítelem, že naučí mladou květinářku vybrané mluvě a chování, takže ji za pár měsíců nikdo nerozezná od rozené vévodkyně. Příběh Shawovy hry, v níž cítíme lehounkou ozvěnu pohádky o Popelce, je tedy velmi jednoduchý, a ona přitom oplývá mimořádně laskavými půvaby, vyniká nezaměnitelně britským, břitkým smyslem pro humor – při čtení máme pocit, jako by Shaw touto hrou z valné části britský vtip sám vynalezl. Jedna věta za druhou nás naplňuje radostně vzrušeným očekáváním příštího děje. A postavy jsou skuteční, živoucí Angličané. Jak komplikovaná je pavučina lidských vztahů a jak osvěžující je jejich podoba, když aktéři pocházejí z různých vrstev společnosti! Eliza má nadání a touhu pochopit víc – a navzdory mládí ví, že každou změnou nejen získáváme, ale i ztrácíme. Přespříliš se přizpůsobit tlaku okolí znamená ztratit svoji osobitost, ztratit to nejcennější – sám sebe. Takže není zas tolik překvapivé, že člověk s lepšími způsoby nakonec není profesor Higgins. Ten se však nejvíc dozví: Že nikdo nemá právo na život toho druhého, že nikoho nikdy nelze plně vlastnit. Jakoby navzdory této pravdě hra naznačuje šťastný konec... Shaw je jediný autor, který byl oceněn jak Nobelovou cenou, tak Oscarem – za film natočený právě podle jeho hry.

“Ros Byam Shaw does a very good line in…exploring how exactly people live in their particular type of house and advising the rest of us how to achieve a similar decorative look in our own homes.” House & GardenClassic English style is comfortable, timeless, and informal. But it can also be seen as rather grand—most appropriate for rambling rectories, manor houses, and country house hotels. This book sets out to show that Perfect English style can be scaled down to work in a home of any age, size or shape. Ros Byam Shaw visits 12 pint-sized homes that are perfect examples of this ever-popular look, including a terraced townhouse in Ludlow, a gardener’s cottage in Kent, a tiny London flat, and a perfect Cotswolds country cottage. At a time when sustainability and environmental concerns are at the top of the agenda, Perfect English style prioritises reuse, recycling, and upcycling, and happily accommodates objects that are worn, faded, and mended. As the inviting, characterful, and compact homes that fill these pages demonstrate, Perfect English Small and Beautiful reveals how to downscale with perfect English panache.
