Autorenporträt
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was Nobel Prize-winning writer, political activist and critic. One of the most important writers of the twentieth century, he has been described as 'second only to Shakespeare in the British theatrical tradition'. Although he wrote over sixty plays, he is best remembered today for Man and Superman, Pygmalion and Saint Joan.
