Heartbreak House - Bernard Shaw

For sale: A gently worn copy of George Bernard Shaw's classic play, "Heartbreak House".

Published in 1919, "Heartbreak House" is a thought-provoking satire that explores the social and moral decay of the British upper class in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the eccentric and bohemian Shotover family, who gather at their country estate, Heartbreak House, for a weekend of witty repartee, philosophical debates, and romantic entanglements.

Through his characteristic wit and clever dialogue, Shaw critiques the social conventions and hypocrisies of his time, offering a scathing commentary on the decline of Victorian values and the search for meaning in a post-World War I world.

This copy of "Heartbreak House" is in good condition, with some yellowing of the pages due to age. The cover shows signs of gentle wear, but the binding is still secure and the text remains clear and readable. A great opportunity to own a classic of 20th-century literature at an affordable price.
