Description

About The Book: George Bernard Shaw, an influential Irish writer and political activist, stands as one of the most prominent dramatists of the 20th century. In 1925, he was honored with the Nobel Prize in Literature. Among his notable works is the play "Saint Joan," which vividly portrays the life of the Maid of Orleans. This play daringly challenges societal norms as Joan defies traditional expectations by refusing to conform to feminine attire and rebelling against orthodox conventions. Shaw presents Joan as a courageous woman who fearlessly confronts a world that is resistant to accepting her, ultimately enduring a tragic fate as a consequence of her audacity. Through his plays, Shaw fearlessly expresses his controversial ideas, and "Saint Joan," written in 1923, delves into the life, death, and canonization of the historical figure Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc, the remarkable warrior saint of the 15th century, devoted her life to liberating France from English occupation.
