Apie šią el. knygą
A Treatise on Parents and Children is a classic family studies/parenting guide by the great Irish writer George Bernard Shaw that examines the parent/child relationship and contains the following excerpt: Childhood is a stage in the process of that continual remanufacture of the Life Stuff by which the human race is perpetuated. The Life Force either will not or cannot achieve immortality except in very low organisms: indeed it is by no means ascertained that even the amoeba is immortal. Human beings visibly wear out, though they last longer than their friends the dogs. Turtles, parrots, and elephants are believed to be capable of outliving the memory of the oldest human inhabitant. But the fact that new ones are born conclusively proves that they are not immortal. Do away with death and you do away with the need for birth: in fact if you went on breeding, you would finally have to kill old people to make room for young ones. (Amazon)
Apie autorių
George Bernard Shaw, born on July 26, 1856, in Dublin, Ireland, was a titan of modern literature, whose influence extended far beyond the written word. Shaw was a playwright, critic, and polemicist, whose works often challenged societal norms and provoked thought on issues of morality, politics, and social reform. His sharp wit and keen intellect made him a formidable figure in the literary world.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 find his footing but eventually became a prominent figure in the Fabian Society, advocating for democratic socialism and the reform of capitalist structures.His plays, characterized by their incisive social commentary and clever dialogue, revolutionized the theater. Works like "Pygmalion" and "Man and Superman" remain staples of the stage, blending humor with profound philosophical questions. Shaw's ability to tackle controversial topics, such as women's rights, poverty, and the flaws of capitalism, often stirred public debate and sometimes outrage.Shaw's legacy is not confined to his literary achievements. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925 and an Oscar in 1938, making him one of the few individuals to receive both honors. His ideas on social justice and equality continue to resonate, influencing contemporary writers and thinkers who seek to challenge the status quo.Shaw's life was a testament to the power of ideas and the written word to inspire change. His relentless pursuit of truth and justice, coupled with his unparalleled talent for storytelling, ensures that his work remains relevant and thought-provoking to this day.
