ARMS AND THE MAN : Bernard Shaw  (English, Paperback, Ramji Lall)

Arms and the Man is one of Shaw�s most amusing and entertaining plays. This play is a comedy through and through, with an abundance of humour and wit in it. But the comedy does not swamp the serious significance of the play. Both Bluntschli and Raina are unforgettable characters in their own different ways. And the other characters have been portrayed with a sure touch, too. Although Arms and the Man is an early play, it fully reveals Shaw�s comic genius and his capacity to create living and convincing characters. Prof. Ramji Lall�s comprehensive and well-researched exposition of the play eminently suits the examination requirements of the Students. It examines and assesses the play from all angles, providing copious notes and explanations along with important questions and answers.
