John Bull's Other Island by Bernard Shaw
"John Bull's Other Island" by George Bernard Shaw is a comedy written in 1904. An Irish expatriate and his English business partner travel to rural Ireland to develop land into a resort. The idealistic Englishman charms the locals while the pragmatic Irishman sees through romantic illusions about his homeland. As business schemes unfold, questions of identity, politics, and Ireland's future collide. Shaw's satire explores the complex relationship between Ireland and England through
sharp wit and conflicting worldviews. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
