Synopsis
Excerpt: "It is impossible for an Englishman to open his mouth without making some other Englishman hate or despise him." (Pygmalion, Preface) Named after a Greek mythological character the play was first presented on stage to the public in 1913. In ancient Greek mythology, Pygmalion fell in love with one of his sculptures, which then came to life. Professor of phonetics Henry Higgins makes a bet that he can train a bedraggled Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, to pass for a duchess at an ambassador's garden party by teaching her to assume a veneer of gentility, the most important element of which, he believes, is impeccable speech. The play is a sharp lampoon of the rigid British class system of the day and a commentary on women's independence and has been successfully adapted into a motion picture and a musical comedy. George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) was an Irish playwright, essayist, novelist and short story writer and wrote more than 60 plays. He is the only person to have been awarded both a Nobel Prize in Literature (1925) and an Academy Award (1938).

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - In 'Pygmalion, ' George Bernard Shaw masterfully intertwines wit and social critique, exploring themes of class distinctions and the transformative power of language. This illustrated edition enhances Shaw's sharp dialogues and vivid characterizations, immersing readers in early 20th-century London. At its core, the narrative follows the journey of Eliza Doolittle, a flower girl who undergoes a remarkable transformation under the tutelage of Professor Henry Higgins, inviting reflection on identity, gender, and societal expectations. Shaw's incisive commentary and clever humor not only entertain but provoke thought regarding the roles we play in society. George Bernard Shaw, a pivotal figure in modern drama, drew inspiration from his own experiences with class and education. Activism and a passion for social reform pervaded Shaw's life and work, culminating in his desire to challenge prevailing norms through 'Pygmalion.' His keen observation of human behavior, coupled with a dedication to intellectual inquiry, cemented his reputation as a playwright whose works transcend the boundaries of time and culture. This illustrated edition of 'Pygmalion' is highly recommended for both enthusiasts of classic literature and those exploring the nuances of social dynamics. Shaw's brilliant construction of character and plot, paired with visually engaging illustrations, offers a rich literary experience that is as relevant today as it was a century ago.
