Beschreibung
ARDIS Audio Studio brings to your attention the famous play by George Bernard Shaw "Pygmalion", read in the original language.
George Bernard Shaw is a brilliant playwright, a classic of English literature of the late XIX - early XX century, winner of the Nobel Prize in 1925.
"Pygmalion" is a sparkling comedy, the essence of which is a bet made between Mr. Higgins, a professor of phonetics, and Colonel Pickering. Higgins claims that he will be able, thanks to his knowledge and pedagogical skills, to turn a simple flower girl Eliza Doolittle into a socialite. The experiment begins. But his course is disrupted by the human relationship that suddenly ensues between two men and one girl. Eliza Doolittle, who belongs to the lower classes of society, is better in mental qualities and way of thinking than her teacher, an outwardly intelligent, aristocratic professor of phonetics. In this strange contradiction, at first glance, lies the sharpness and satire of Shaw's play, its success with many generations of viewers and readers. The finale of the comedy remains open – what will happen next with the little flower girl, who coped so well with the role of a noble lady?

Über den Autor:
"The greatest sin towards one's neighbor is not hatred, but indifference; this is truly the height of inhumanity," argued the world–famous Irish playwright, writer and public figure George Bernard Shaw.
Like most great writers, Bernard Shaw overcame many obstacles on the way to fame and recognition. The author was born on July 26, 1856 in Dublin in a large family of a bankrupt merchant and singer. The parents did not have the means to give the Show a good education. The young man attended Wesleyan College in Dublin and then a Protestant school. At the age of twenty, Bernard Shaw moved to London, determined to become a writer. The future playwright engaged in self-education, spent a lot of time in the library of the British Museum. To earn a living, he worked as a freelance correspondent for various magazines. The author's first novels were not popular, then Shaw turned to drama. His sarcastic mind, sarcasm and sarcasm allowed him to create plays that were not only watched, but also read.
His style is characterized by acute conflict situations and dialogues saturated with paradoxes. The writer studied the work of Henrik Ibsen, who undoubtedly influenced the development of the Show's dramatic talent. As a writer and playwright, the author declared himself in 1885 by publishing his debut play "The Widower's House". The acute topical drama literally blew up European drama with truthfulness, caustic satire and social issues. The writer has always been active in public life, supported the ideas of socialism and even visited the USSR. During his life, the playwright created about fifty plays. The following works are considered the most popular:
"Pygmalion";
"Caesar and Cleopatra";
"The Devil's Disciple";
"The Dark Lady of Sonnets";
"The House where hearts Break";
"Saint Joan".
The writer spent the last years of his life in Hertfordshire, where he died on November 2, 1950. The playwright has no heirs left. Bernard Shaw's capacious and multifaceted works belong to the best pages of the history of English literature, and subtle humor and satire make them extremely attractive to modern readers.
