{"product_id":"pygmalion","title":"Pygmalion","description":"One of George Bernard Shaw's best-known plays, Pygmalion was a rousing success on the London and New York stages, an entertaining motion picture and a great hit with its musical version, My Fair Lady. 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. In 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. The irresistible theme of the emerging butterfly, together with Shaw's brilliant dialogue and splendid skills as a playwright, have made Pygmalion one of the most popular comedies in the English language. A staple of college drama courses, it is still widely performed.","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"perpetual","offer_id":44457727164513,"sku":"9780486113784","price":0.5,"currency_code":"KWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9869\/4241\/files\/480_db6d7d75-36f8-4b5f-8548-b653b599dca2.jpg?v=1778567056","url":"https:\/\/ebooks.aafaqeducation.com\/products\/pygmalion","provider":"ebook.aafaqeducation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
