Reseña de Goodreads

I am reading the Riverside edition of this book. Apparently irrelevant details show the Fabian orientation of the narrative. Facts such as the sliding down of bannisters in stairways, something which seems odd and old but which I still see here in my island, seem to link Shaw to punks of today. The novel narrates the life of a young man which is a socialist. Sensitive young girls are over selfrighteous and carry all the responsabilities. Bankers are ironic and not sour people like characters in Dickens novels. Shaw´s mind may seem to side him with the wealthy, but the fact is he is very realistic writer.
