Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Bernard Shaw. When Michael Holroyd's multi-volume life of Bernard Shaw was published, it was hailed as a masterpeice, and William Golding predicted that it would take its place 'among the great biographies'. Now the biography is available for the first time in a lively and accessible abridgement by the author. This is the quintessence of Shaw. The narrative has a new verve and pace, the light and shade of Shaw's world are more dramatically revealed, as Holroyd counterpoints the private and public Shaw with inimitable insight and scholarship. Covering almost a century, from 1856 to 1950, this unparalleled life of Shaw presents the magnificent double portrait of an age and of a man who was born fifty years too soon. Holroyd magically captures the essence of Shaw's protean genius in a tragi-comedy which is constantly absorbing, surprising, funny and moving. Illustrated. 834 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
