註釋George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) was an Irish playwright and a co-founder of the London School of Economics. Although his first profitable writing was music and literary criticism, in which capacity he wrote many highly articulate pieces of journalism, his main talent was for drama, and he wrote more than 60 plays. He was also an essayist, novelist and short story writer. Nearly all his writings address prevailing social problems, but have a vein of comedy which makes their stark themes more palatable. Issues which engaged Shaw's attention included education, marriage, religion, government, health care, and class privilege. He is the only person to have been awarded both a Nobel Prize in Literature (1925) and an Oscar (1938), for his contributions to literature and for his work on the film Pygmalion (adaptation of his play of the same name), respectively In this book: Pygmalion Arms and the Man Mrs. Warren's Profession Major Barbara Man And Superman Caesar and Cleopatra Heartbreak House You Never Can Tell Getting Married The Devil's Disciple The Doctor's Dilemma
