The book includes two famous plays by the outstanding George Bernard Shaw, British playwright-innovator, founder (along with Ibsen and Chekhov) intellectual theater of the twentieth century, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature and Oscar. "Pygmalion" (1913) - the story of London professor of phonetics Henry Higgins, "created" from the street flower girl socialite lady, and at the same time the story of flower girl Eliza Doolittle, forcing Higgins to see in her not just material for an interesting experiment, and a living person - became the basis for the famous musical "My Fair Lady" (1956) and its Oscar-winning film adaptation (1964) with Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn in the lead roles. In "The House Where Hearts Break" (1913-1917) bizarre house-ship, where the guests lead continuous and fruitless arguments about love and the meaning of life to the accompaniment of whistles and shouts of the owner, a wise man and madman Captain Shotovera, gradually grows into a symbolic image of the old world, which entered the new century and standing on the threshold of destruction.
