{"product_id":"pygmalion-george-bernard-shaw-9781519749321","title":"Pygmalion.","description":"Pygmalion is a play by George Bernard Shaw, named after a Greek mythological character. It was first presented on stage to the public in 1913. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Bernard Shaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1519749325\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781519749321\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 12\/08\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.18d","brand":"George Bernard Shaw","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47759224340735,"sku":"9781519749321","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9f3aa67e-5b05-4c12-83c6-26cc5e3e396e.jpg?v=1765512286","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pygmalion-george-bernard-shaw-9781519749321","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
