https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arms-and-the-man-version-2-by-george-bernard-shaw-1856-1950--6156097Arms and the Man by George Bernard Shaw is a comedic play set during the Serbo-Bulgarian War. It follows the story of Raina, a young Bulgarian woman, who shelters a Swiss mercenary soldier named Captain Bluntschli. Unlike the romanticized ideals of war that Raina believes in, Bluntschli is practical, preferring food over bullets and questioning the glory of battle. As Raina's idealistic views are challenged, the play humorously critiques the absurdity of romanticized heroism and war. Meanwhile, a love triangle develops between Raina, her fiancé Sergius, and Bluntschli, revealing the complexities of relationships and human nature. Through witty dialogue and satire, Shaw examines the illusions people hold about love, war, and honor, ultimately emphasizing realism over idealism. - Summary by Dream Audiobooks - ]]>enBooksCopyright Dream audio bookshttps://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/d2ad8ad905f199aada6199d01c5b5b92.jpghttps://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arms-and-the-man-version-2-by-george-bernard-shaw-1856-1950--6156097Sun, 28 Dec 2025 00:20:23 +0000George Bernard ShawDream AudioBooksfeeds@dreamaudiobooks.comArms and the Man is a comedy written by George Bernard Shaw, and was first produced in 1894 and published in 1898, and has become one of the most popular of his plays.
