Arms and the Man is a comedy in three acts by George Bernard Shaw, set during the Serbo-Bulgarian War. A young Bulgarian woman hides a Swiss mercenary in her room, and her romantic ideas about war and love clash with his practical outlook. It is worth listening for its witty dialogue and satirical view of heroism.
