Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Special Edition. Condition: Apart from some shelf wear, the book is unread and in very good condition. Red cloth boards and part of the series published by Constable and Co. in 1951. Synopsis: This collection by George Bernard Shaw comprises Heartbreak House, Great Catherine, and Playlets of War. Heartbreak House offers a critique of early 20th-century European society as it approached the First World War. Great Catherine satirizes the historical figure of Catherine the Great, and by extension, the political landscape of the Russian court.

The collection showcases Shaw's diverse dramatic styles, encompassing both tragicomedy and historical satire.…
