George Bernard Shaw: Man and Superman, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

Man and Superman is one of Shaw's most ambitious plays, blending romantic comedy with deep philosophical debate. It was written as a response to the idea that modern drama lacked intellectual depth. Inspired by Nietzsche's concept of the "Übermensch" (Superman), Shaw explores themes of evolution, gender roles, love, and the driving forces of human existence. Though primarily a comedy about courtship, the play also includes a famous philosophical dream sequence, "Don Juan in Hell," which explores profound questions about morality, free will, and human purpose. Man and Superman is more than a comedy-it's a deep exploration of human nature, power, and destiny. Shaw challenges romantic clichés and presents a thought-provoking vision of love and evolution.
