Bag om The Irrational Knot

The Irrational Knot is a novel written by George Bernard Shaw, first published in 1905. The story revolves around the lives of two young women, Blanche Sartorius and Agatha Wylie, who are trying to find their place in society. Blanche is a wealthy heiress who is determined to break free from her overbearing father's control and live life on her own terms. Agatha, on the other hand, is a struggling artist who is trying to make a name for herself in the male-dominated world of art.As the two women navigate their way through the complexities of society, they find themselves drawn to each other in ways that they cannot explain. However, their relationship is threatened by the presence of a third character, a young man named Leonard Charteris, who is also vying for Blanche's affections.The novel explores themes of love, class, gender, and the irrationality of human behavior. Shaw's signature wit and humor are evident throughout the book, as he pokes fun at the absurdities of Victorian society and its rigid social norms.Overall, The Irrational Knot is a thought-provoking and entertaining read that offers a unique perspective on the complexities of human relationships and the irrationality of our desires.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
