Product Description
Dive into Shaw’s brilliant social satire with Pygmalion, a masterful play that brings sharp wit and moral intelligence to the classic comedy of manners. Follow the journey of Eliza Doolittle—a spirited Cockney flower girl—who is transformed by Professor Henry Higgins into an elegant lady of society. But Shaw’s story isn’t about romance—it’s a searing critique of class, identity, and the superficial judgments society makes based solely on speech and manners.
This beautifully produced perfect-bound paperback is as compact as it is timeless—lightweight, easy to carry, and perfect for on-the-go readers. Whether you're a student dissecting the nuances of transformation, or a lover of richly theatrical storytelling, Pygmalion remains as sharp, funny, and thought-provoking today as it was over a century ago.
