Anotace knihy

Excerpt from Essays Robert Louis Stevenson, on his first journey across the United States, was amused by an American fellow-traveler, who inquired his name and his business, but then relapsed into silence, evidently convinced, says Stevenson, "He had plucked out the heart of my mystery." Americans, it may well be, fancy that they easily plumb the human depths. I myself may be about to illustrate this national conceit. So take note that modesty is not encouraged by the companionship of Shaw. Although (fortunately for you) I am in possession of the key to G.B.S. I do not intend to open many doors. I shall not drag you over the whole establishment, but just glance into a few rooms. A reactionary criticism, in New York, given a wide audience, inculcates the notion that Shaw is not serious; that he cannot write well constructed plays; that his subjects are too much from the clash of his time to be universal in their appeal and that, consequently, his plays will not last. These are the rooms in Shaw's house-beautiful that I wish to enter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
