«Pigmalión / Trata de blancas» is the theater volume by George Bernard Shaw published by Orbis in 1983 in hardcover (188 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together two plays by Shaw. In Pygmalion, the phonetician Henry Higgins bets he can pass off the flower girl Eliza Doolittle as a duchess; the play satirizes class differences in London at the time. The second, Trata de blancas, also addresses social and moral conflicts.
Volume 59 of the Nobel Prize Winners collection; the cover highlights that Shaw received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925.
Suitable for readers of classic theater, British literature and works with social criticism.
George Bernard Shaw was an Irish playwright, critic, polemicist and political activist. His influence on Western theatre, culture and politics extended from the 1880s to his death and beyond. He wrote more than sixty plays, including major works such as Man and Superman (1902), Pygmalion (1913) and Saint Joan (1923). With a range incorporating both contemporary satire and historical allegory, Shaw became the leading dramatist of his generation, and was awarded the 1925 Nobel Prize in Literature.
