Synopsis

The fabulously rich Timon believes all his friends to be as open-hearted and as generous as himself. When his wealth suddenly evaporates, his altruism turns to a bitter hatred of mankind. Stirred by the cynical Apemantus, Timon retreats to the woods where he plots the destrucion of Athens.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Webster's paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running English-to-Brazilian Portuguese thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of Timon of Athens by William Shakespeare was edited for three audiences. The first includes Brazilian Portuguese-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL� or TOEIC� preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled in bilingual education programs or Brazilian Portuguese speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Brazilian Portuguese in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement� (AP�) or similar examinations. By using the Webster's Brazilian Portuguese Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Brazilian Portuguese or English.
