Man and Superman (Deseret Alphabet Edition)

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), known at his insistence simply as Bernard Shaw, was an Irish playwright, critic and polemicist whose influence on Western theatre, culture and politics extended from the 1880s to his death and beyond. In 1925 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, and in his will, he left money for the development of a phonetic alphabet for English, now known as the Shaw alphabet or Shavian. Man and Superman is a comedy of manners that explores Shaw's socialist politics and hopes for the future, "superman" here referring to Nietzsche's concept of the Ubermensch. It is best known for the long dream sequence in the third act, often performed on its own under the title Don Juan in Hell. This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for writing English developed in the mid-19th century at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah). "
