Raina Petkoff has grand ideas about heroism and war that are soon
thwarted by a Swiss solider using her bedroom to hide from the
authorities. Arms and the Man is a three act play that's filled
with insightful observations about politics, tradition and
courtship. Raina is a young woman who's hopelessly devoted to her
fiance Sergius Saranoff. While he's away at war, she meets Captain
Bluntschli, a Swiss mercenary who enters her bedroom seeking
shelter from enemy troops. During his short stay, the pair engage
in a lively discussion about battles and bravery exposing their
opposing views. This random encounter sparks a series of events
that leads to a political and emotional awakening that changes
Raina's life forever. Arms and the Man is one of George Bernard
Shaw's earliest successes. It's a refreshing commentary on the
romanticism of war and faulty traditions. The play was originally
produced in 1894 and has been performed around the world for more
than hundred years. With an eye-catching new cover, and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Arms and the Man
is both modern and readable.
