George Bernard Shaw

Autor G. K. Chesterton
en Limba Engleză Paperback
A peculiar difficulty arrests the writer of this rough study at the very start. Many people know Mr. Bernard Shaw chiefly as a man who would write a very long preface even to a very short play. And there is truth in the idea; he is indeed a very prefatory sort of person. He always gives the explanation before the incident; but so, for the matter of that, does the Gospel of St. John. For Bernard Shaw, as for the mystics, Christian and heathen (and Shaw is best described as a heathen mystic), the philosophy of facts is anterior to the facts themselves. In due time we come to the fact, the incarnation; but in the beginning was the Word.

Notă biografică

P. G. Wodehouse (1881-1975) was an English author and one of the most widely read humorists of the twentieth century. Wodehouse was prolific throughout his life, publishing more than ninety books, forty plays, two hundred short stories and other writings between 1902 and 1974. Many of his recurring characters have become fixtures of English literature, among them feckless Bertie Wooster and his sagacious valet, Jeeves; the immaculate and loquacious Psmith; and the bungling opportunist Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge.
