A timeless satire with a sharp tongue and a tender heartPygmalion is Bernard Shaws witty and subversive take on transformation, class, and identity. This Penguin Classics edition is perfect for readers who appreciate both literary brilliance and social commentary.

🎭 Synopsis: Professor Henry Higgins, a phonetics expert, wagers he can turn Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower seller, into a refined lady simply by teaching her to speak proper English. But as Elizas transformation unfolds, so too does a deeper critique of class structures, gender roles, and the illusion of control. The play that inspired My Fair Lady, Pygmalion remains one of the most beloved and provocative comedies in the English language.
