More than three decades after G. B. Shaw's death, his biographer Michael Holroyd discovered the long-lost original version of this early play on women's emancipation. It is now being published for the first time in German in the Insel Taschenbuch series. The title character of this modern relationship comedy finds himself caught between two women and experiences that, despite all the camaraderie and casual interactions in the name of equality, he becomes an object of female affection, possessiveness, and even passionate desire.
