Pygmalion is a play by George Bernard Shaw, named after a Greek mythological character. 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. Arms and the Man is a satirical comedy about people's idealism towards love and war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Bernard Shaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1502938545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781502938541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.52d","brand":"George Bernard Shaw","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46927854960895,"sku":"9781502938541","price":9.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_15e45248-ed26-4874-af54-9ec1bffca283.jpg?v=1749373176","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pygmalion-arms-and-the-george-bernard-shaw-9781502938541","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
