Pygmalion is a play by Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw, published in 1913. The plot follows Henry Higgins, a phonetics professor, who makes a bet to transform Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl, into a high society lady through diction lessons. The play explores themes of social class, language, and personal identity, and was the inspiration for the famous musical 'My Fair Lady'. This edition from Círculo de Lectores, Pequeño Tesoro, published in 1983, is a valuable addition for any lover of theater and classic literature.
George Bernard Shaw was an Irish playwright, critic, polemicist and political activist. His influence on Western theatre, culture and politics extended from the 1880s to his death and beyond. He wrote more than sixty plays, including major works such as Man and Superman (1902), Pygmalion (1913) and Saint Joan (1923). With a range incorporating both contemporary satire and historical allegory, Shaw became the leading dramatist of his generation, and was awarded the 1925 Nobel Prize in Literature.
