George Bernard Shaw
Gilbert K. Chesterton was a friend of George Bernard Shaw being at the same time his opponent in his political views and his critic concerning his literary works. This book is an account of the life of a famous writer in a light and humor way. You should not expect much of the critique here as the author focuses more on the spirit of the contemporary society and Shaw's role in it and his contribution to the development of English literature and thinking. In just one hundred pages Chesterton mana
...ges to show the influence of Shaw's works as well as his interests in philosophy, theology and political thinking. For example, Chesterton knowing Shaw very well, explains in the last chapter in what ways the works of Plato and Socrates influenced the views of his friend and opponent George Bernard Shaw. This book would be a nice introduction to the literary works of Shaw and it would be interesting as well for his fans who have already read all of his stories to understand them better and deeper.
