Pygmalion

Meer over het boek

Shaw's comedy tells the story of Professor Henry Higgins, a self-important linguist who bets that he can make a poor flower seller, Eliza Doolittle, a duchess by teaching her to speak with the accent of fine London society. At an ambassadorial party, he successfully passes her off as a duchess. But since she is treated by Higgins merely as a maid, she leaves him. Gröls Classics - English Edition
