An updated and considerably revised version of the ancient Greek legend of Pygmalion and Galatea, the 20th-century story pokes fun at the antiquated British class system. \u003cbr\u003eIn Shaw's clever adaptation, Professor Henry Higgins, a linguistic expert, takes on a bet that he can transform an awkward cockney flower seller into a refined young lady simply by polishing her manners and changing the way she speaks. In the process of convincing society that his creation is a mysterious royal figure, the Professor also falls in love with his elegant handiwork.\u003cbr\u003eThe irresistible theme of the emerging butterfly, together with Shaw's brilliant dialogue and splendid skills as a playwright, have made \u003ci\u003ePygmalion\u003c\/i\u003e one of the most popular comedies in the English language.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45085920723095,"sku":"9780486282220","price":315.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780486282220.webp?v=1767638542","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/pygmalion-9780486282220","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
