Arms and the Man, by Shaw, George Bernard - Akasha Classics, AkashaPublishing.Com - Enjoy Shaw, George Bernard at his wittiest in this comedy filled with deflating commentary about romantic misconceptions of love and warfare. Raina is a young girl who looks on war and love with rose-colored glasses; her officer fiance does little to deter these views. When an escaping soldier breaks into her bedroom, her world is disturbed as she is confronted by the grim and absurd realities of war. Will her views on love be equally shaken when the soldier returns to compete for her affections? Shaw skewers the pretensions of his characters in a deftly comic style. Questioning the conventional wisdom of its time, Arms and the Man continues to be relevant today. It is one of the most acted and studied of Shaw's plays.
