{"product_id":"pygmalion-7","title":"Pygmalion","description":"\u003cp\u003ePygmalion, a timeless play by George Bernard Shaw, explores themes of transformation, identity, and social class. The narrative centers around Eliza Doolittle, a poor flower girl with a strong Cockney accent, and Henry Higgins, a phonetics professor who boasts he can elevate her to the status of a refined lady by teaching her proper speech. As Eliza undergoes a radical transformation, the play delves into deeper questions about class distinctions and the nature of true identity. Shaw artfully critiques the superficiality of societal norms and the rigid class system of early 20th-century England. The witty dialogue and strong character dynamics make it both entertaining and thought-provoking. Ultimately, Pygmalion is not just a story of personal change but also an exploration of the power of language and the complexities of human relationships. Shaw's incisive commentary still resonates today, making Pygmalion a relevant and enduring classic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Booksclassic","offers":[{"title":"Perfect Bound","offer_id":50338474459440,"sku":"9609441300529","price":7.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thegreatbritishbookshop.co.uk\/products\/pygmalion-7","provider":"The Great British Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
