O ovoj e-knjizi
Caesar and Cleopatra is a play written in 1898 by George Bernard Shaw that depicts a fictionalised account of the relationship between Julius Caesar and Cleopatra. It was first published with Captain Brassbound's Conversion and The Devil's Disciple in Shaw's 1901 collection Three Plays for Puritans. It was first performed in a single staged reading at Newcastle upon Tyne on 15 March 1899, to secure the copyright. The play was produced in New York in 1906 and in London at the Savoy Theatre in 1907. (Excerpt from Wikipedia)
O autoru
George Bernard Shaw, born on July 26, 1856, in Dublin, Ireland, was a titan of modern drama and a fervent critic of the social and political status quo. Shaw's career spanned over six decades, during which he penned more than 60 plays, including masterpieces like "Pygmalion" and "Saint Joan." His works are celebrated for their sharp wit, intellectual rigor, and deep social commentary, often challenging the moral and societal norms of his time.Shaw's early life was marked by financial instability and a lack of formal education, which he compensated for through voracious reading and self-study. Moving to London in 1876, he initially struggled to establish himself as a writer, but his fortunes changed with his involvement in the Fabian Society, a socialist organization that profoundly influenced his worldview and writing.A vocal advocate for social reform, Shaw championed causes such as women's rights, anti-vivisection, and the abolition of private property. His controversial views often sparked public debate, making him a polarizing figure. Shaw's preface to "Major Barbara," for instance, critiques capitalism and organized religion, reflecting his belief in the necessity of societal overhaul.Shaw's influence extended beyond the literary world; he was a Nobel Laureate in Literature (1925) and an Oscar winner for the screenplay adaptation of "Pygmalion" (1938). His legacy endures through his revolutionary ideas and his ability to blend humor with profound social critique, inspiring contemporary writers and thinkers to challenge the status quo. Shaw passed away on November 2, 1950, but his works continue to resonate, offering incisive commentary on human nature and society.
