The Shewing Up Of Blanco Posnet - GEORGE BERNARD SHAW - Bog

""The Shewing Up Of Blanco Posnet"" is a play written by George Bernard Shaw. It tells the story of a young man named Blanco Posnet who is accused of stealing a horse and is facing execution. However, his case is complicated by the fact that he is a devout Christian who believes that he has been saved by God's grace. The play explores themes of morality, justice, and religion, as well as the role of the individual in society. It was first performed in 1909 and was controversial at the time due to its frank discussion of religion and its critique of the justice system. Despite this, it has remained a popular and influential work in the canon of Shaw's plays.BLANCO. Not they. Hanging's too big a treat for them to give up a fair chance. Ive done it myself.

Ive emptied my revolver into him, and persuaded myself that he deserved it and that I was doing justice with strong stern men. Well, my turn's come now.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
