Autor

George Bernard Shaw, known simply as Bernard Shaw, was an Irish playwright, critic, polemicist, and political activist, born on July 26, 1856, in Dublin, Ireland. Shaw s influence spanned several decades, with his contributions to Western theatre, culture, and politics shaping thought from the 1880s through to his death in 1950. His plays, known for their sharp wit, social commentary, and intellectual rigor, tackled a wide range of issues, including class, gender, and the failures of society and government. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925, which recognized his profound impact on literature and theatre. Throughout his career, Shaw remained deeply involved in political causes, advocating for social reforms, and his works often reflected his progressive views. His legacy is marked by a combination of literary innovation and commitment to social justice, and he is regarded as one of the most influential playwrights of the 20th century. Shaw passed away on November 2, 1950, at the age of 94 in Ayot Saint Lawrence, United Kingdom, leaving behind a lasting imprint on both literature and political thought.
