A Treatise on Parents and Children is a classic family study by George Bernard Shaw. Childhood is a stage in the process of that continual remanufacture of the Life Stuff by which the human race is perpetuated. The Life Force either will not or cannot achieve immortality except in very low organisms: indeed it is by no means ascertained that even the amoeba is immortal. Human beings visibly wear out, though they last longer than their friends the dogs.
One hundred years later, George Bernard Shaw's Treaties on parents and children may still challenge quite a few minds and 'values'. So get ready for a mental earthquake, if a combination of dramatic, comic and socially corrective attitudes are not an usual spot for you, as a reader.
