About the Book

This vintage book contains George Bernard Shaw's 1919 play, "Heartbreak House: A Fantasia in the Russian Manner on English Themes". Ellie Dunn, her father, and her fiancé attend one of Hesione Hushabye's notorious dinner parties. However, Ellie’s partner is a rake, her father is an idiot, and she has amorous feelings for Hesione’s husband. It is an adventurous farrago of comedy, tragedy, and satire that can only lead to disaster.
