Beyond Nab End - William Woodruff
The second volume of Woodruff''s memoirs starts with him having arrived in Poplar in the early 1930s. On spec he turns up at a steel foundry and luckily gets a job. His digs are with an old couple in Bow where he has to share a single bed (head to toe) with their mentally retarded son.Life in the foundry is grim but William is indomitable. For recreation one day he cycles (then in the days before inflatable tyres) to Berkhamstead to try and track down an old girlfriend. She''s not there and he has to return in a snowstorm - it takes him eight hours to get back to Poplar and then he has to get up three hours later to work at the foundry.Eventually he decides to ''get some leernin'' and his first white collar job starts for the water board in ... Brettenham House! He continues to pursue his studies, finally winning a place at Ruskin College, Oxford. How the ex-steel worker became an Oxford academic - and William''s concluding description of returning from the war to meet the son he''s never seen - is deeply moving.

The Road to Nab End - William Woodruff
From his birth in 1916 (in the carding room of a cotton mill) until he ran away to London, William Woodruff lived in the heart of Blackburn’s weaving community. But after Lancashire’s supremacy in cotton textiles had ended with the crash of 1920, his father was thrown out of work. From then on, including the great depression of the 1930s, Woodruff and his family faced a life blighted by extreme poverty. Reading this book today, it is hard to comprehend that within living memory - and in what was the richest country in the world - so many people couldn’t even afford to buy enough food. For the ordinary families of Lancashire, unemployment was an ever-present fear: "If you worked you ate. If there was no work you went hungry."

George Bernard Shaw - Gilbert Keith Chesterton
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 ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Pygmalion - George Bernard Shaw
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, ...

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.

Major Political Writings - George Bernard Shaw
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.

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.

Pygmalion, Heartbreak House, and Saint Joan - George Bernard Shaw
Pygmalion, Heartbreak House, and Saint Joan are widely considered to be three of the most important in the canon of modern British theatre.Pygmalion (1912) was a world-wide smash hit from the time of its première in Vienna 1913 and it has remained popular to this day. Shaw was awarded an Academy Award in 1938 for his screenplay of the film adaptation. It was, of course, later made into the much-loved musical My Fair Lady. Heartbreak House (1917), which was finally performed in 1920 and published in 1921, bares the hallmarks of European modernism and a formal break from Shaw''s previous work. A meditation on the war and the resultant decline in European aristocratic culture, it was perhaps staged too soon after the conflict; indeed, it did not have the success of his earlier works, which was likely due to his experimental aesthetics combined with a war-weary audience that sought lighter fare. However, while this contemporary reception was muted, it is now recognised as a modernist masterpiece.Saint Joan (1923) marked Shaw''s resurrection and apotheosis. The first major work written of Joan of Arc after her canonization (1920), the play interrogates the origins of European nationalism in the post-war era. Like Pygmalion, ...

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.

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.

George Bernard Shaw - Christopher Wixson
George Bernard Shaw has been called the second greatest playwright in English (after William Shakespeare) and one of the inventors of modern celebrity as the most famous public intellectual of his time. Beginning in the 1880s, as a critic and as a playwright, he transformed British drama, bringing to it intellectual substance, ethical imperatives, and modernity itself, setting the theatrical course for the subsequent century. That his legacy endures seventy years after his death is testament to the prescience of his thinking and his prolific creativity. This Very Short Introduction looks at Shaw''s life, starting with his upbringing in Ireland, and then takes a chronological approach through his works. Considering Shaw''s committed antagonism on behalf of a range of socio-political issues; his use of comedy as a mode for communicating serious ideas; and his rhetorical style that pushes conventional boundaries, Christopher Wixson provides an overview of the creative evolution of core themes throughout Shaw''s long career.

Láska v temné ulici - Irwin Shaw
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) , ...

Dear Marilyn - Sam Shaw
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. For the first time, Shaw also tells the origin story of his iconic ‘blowing skirt’ series from The Seven Year Itch.Stunning digitally remastered photographs from the original 1940s–1960s archival material include some of the most famous images ever taken of Monroe: from behind the scenes of The Seven Year Itch to candid images of her on the streets of New York City and in love at the beach in Amagansett. Including never-before-seen images, Shaw’s work favours improvisation and shows Marilyn Monroe at her most spontaneous and radiant.“Marilyn was born out of time, still she became a superstar, a myth, and a legend.†— Sam Shaw

Domy pana Sartoria - George Bernard Shaw - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Komedie o tom, že obchod s chudobou kvete v každé době. G. B. Shaw chtěl roku 1885 vytvořit moderní hru pro britské divadlo. 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.

Bardskull - Martin Shaw
Bardskull is the record of three journeys made by Martin Shaw, the celebrated storyteller and interpreter of myth, in the year before he turned fifty. It is unlike anything he has written before. This is not a book about myth or narrative; rather, it is a sequence of incantations, a series of battles. Each of the three journeys sees Shaw walk alone into a Dartmoor forest and wait. What arrive are stories – fragments of myth that he has carried within him for decades: the deep history of Dartmoor itself; the lives of distant family members; Arthurian legend; and tales from India, Persia, Lapland, the Caucasus and Siberia. But these stories and their tellers don’t arrive as the bearers of solace or easy wisdom. As with all quests, Shaw is entering a domain of traps and tests. Bardskull can be read as a fable, as memoir, as auto-fiction or as an attempt to undomesticate myth. It is a magnificent, unclassifiable work of the imagination.

The King's Grave - Michael Jones, Philippa Langley
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 ...

The Story of Tutankhamun: An Intimate Life of the Boy who Became King - Garry J. Shaw
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.

Pygmalion (sběratelská edice) - George Bernard Shaw
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.
