The Adventures of the Black Girl in Her Search for God

George Bernard Shaw

0/5 ( ratings)

So controversial was Adventures of the Black Girl in her search for God when it first appeared in 1932 that it provoked public outcry with Shaw decried as a blasphemer. Today, it remains a surprisingly irreverent depiction of the universal search for God. Dissatisfied with the teachings of respectable white missionaries, an African girl embarks upon her own quest for God and Truth. Journeying through the forest, she encounters various religious figures, each one seeking to convert her to their own brand of faith. This brilliantly sardonic allegory showcases some of Shaw's most unorthodox thoughts on religion and race. George Bernard Shaw is best known for his dramatic works, of which Pygmalion is the most famous.
