Play, Romance, Satire
Chapter: 3 | Listen: 8

This is one of three plays Shaw published as Plays Unpleasant in 1898; they were termed “unpleasant” because they were intended, not to entertain their audiences—as traditional Victorian theatre was expected to—but to raise awareness of social problems and to censure exploitation of the laboring class by the unproductive rich. In this play, Dr. Harry Trench becomes disillusioned when he discovers how his fiancee’s father, Mr. Sartorius, makes his money. However, it is soon revealed that Trench’s own income is far from untainted. [chương_files]

Chapter: 45 | Listen: 7

Capt. Robert F. Scott’s bid to be the leader of the first expedition to reach the South Pole is one of the most famous journeys of all time. What started as a scientific expedition turned out to be an unwilling race against a team lead by R. Admunsen to reach the Pole. The Norwegian flag already stood at the end of the trail when Scott’s party reached their target. All the five men of the Scott expedition who took part in the last march to the Pole perished on their way back to safety. Robert F. Scott kept a journal throughout the journey, all the way to the tragic end, documenting all aspects of the expedition. The famous last words of the journal were: ‘It seems a pity, but I do not think I can write more. For God’s sake look after our people.’ (Summary by Illiterati) [chương_files]

Jasper Derry was on a mission. He had left the northern wilderness a few years earlier when he had worked for the Hudson’s Bay Company, but in doing so he had also left some unfinished business behind. Now he is on his quest to complete those affairs. We travel with Jasper and his two companions through the rugged, desolate region, and while doing so, we learn a great deal of just how wild and untamed the wilderness was in the mid-19th century. This is an adventure, a series of learning experiences, and a lesson in bonding to ensure survival away in the wilderness. – Summary by Roger Melin [chương_files]
