Informazioni sull'autore

The author of over fifty works for the stage – among them Pygmalion and Man and Superman – the Irish playwright and political writer George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950) was the leading dramatist of his generation and the recipient of the 1925 Nobel Prize in Literature.

Dalla quarta di copertina

When professor of phonetics Henry Higgins wages with Colonel Pickering that he could teach even a gutter-mouthed flower seller how to speak like a duchess, little does he expect that his social experiment will be riddled with difficulties, and that, behind her cockney parlance, the girl in question, Eliza Doolittle, has a mind, ideas and aspirations of her own. Things come to a crux when the creature starts to rebel against her creator - and the scene is set for a play that questions the class system, social appearances and the role of women in society.
