This carefully crafted ebook: ‘An Unsocial Socialist (A Political Satire)’ is formatted for your e Reader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
An Unsocial Socialist, Shaw’s last written novel was published in 1887, having been written in 1883. The tale begins with a humorous description of student antics at a girl’s school then changes focus to a seemingly uncouth labourer who, it soon develops, is really a wealthy gentleman in hiding from his overly affectionate wife. Tinged with self-satirical overtones this novel shows both the positive and negative aspects of Socialism in a comically paradoxical manner.
George Bernard Shaw (1856 – 1950) was an Irish playwright, essayist, novelist and short story writer and wrote more than 60 plays. He is the only person to have been awarded both a Nobel Prize in Literature (1925) and an Academy Award (1938).
Excerpt:
‘I am expected to be something more than mortal. Everyone else is encouraged to complain, and to be weak and silly. But I must have no feeling. I must be always in the right. Everyone else may be homesick, or huffed, or in low spirits. I must have no nerves, and must keep others laughing all day long.’
