5.0 out of 5 stars Devil's Disciple living 2018 in America
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2018

All the characters were presented so believably that I could name living people I know to act as they acted. As humans we have made some, likely too little, progress in situations similar to those described; we each have only ourselves to blame.
If our US elected government, as currently acting, surely has many similar bad actors, we, again, have only ourselves to blame.
That we also currently have many good and courageous actors we have God to thank for such blessings as these good folks use their talents wisely. This applies to myself and the readers!

At almost 80 years old, I finally am learning the Importance of history, and the awe of making contact with the character of people whose names only have been a part of memories past. So enjoyed this book!! Will read it again to see if I missed something.

4.0 out of 5 stars Revolutionary War thru the eyes of a British wit

This old play still holds up. In fact it is a joy to read. A group of us read it together and enjoyed so much Shaw's take on the dark side of Puritanism and the frustrations of General Burgoyne. We loved the mistaken identity and the fainting wife too. I've used this play with teenagers, and they too found it delightful.

1.0 out of 5 stars I'm sure Shaw's play is fine; just don't download it

This review refers specifically to the Kindle edition, the text of which arrived scrambled and unreadable. I'm sure Shaw's play is fine; just don't download it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another brilliant Shaw play
Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2011
Shaw, an Irishman, repeatedly pocked fun at religion and the English, or more precisely at the way people practiced religion. This play focuses on puritan America, a town filled with pious but ignorant bigots. The only sensible person is Richard, called the Devil's Disciple because he refuses to live the kind of life lived by others in his community and to agree with their foolish ideas. His father leaves his property to him, probably only because he felt that it is "proper" to give "his property" to his eldest son and certainly not to a woman, even if the woman is his wife and would be left penniless. The play also has a man, if he can be called that, who is clergy, and the clergyman's wife who is charmed by Richard and who comes to see that Richard is more "religious" and braver than her husband when Richard reacts to the English soldiers who wanted to hang her husband.

A play by a long-ago author. It has some unusual twists to make it interesting. A good moral play.

The media could not be loaded.
Comprei o livro há uns meses mas, como não tinha estoque, apenas chegou recentemente. A leitura é muito interessante e atende meu objetivo de estudar Inglês através dos clássicos. Fiquei surpresa por não haver ficha catalográfica ou um prefácio para introduzir a obra. Outro detalhe foi um pedacinho de cola na capa interna do livro, mas não vejo isso como um problema.
