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-Hebrew thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of King Lear by William Shakespeare was edited for three audiences. The first includes Hebrew-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 Hebrew speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Hebrew in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement (AP) or similar examinations. By using the Webster's Hebrew Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Hebrew or English.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

William Shakespeare (1564–1616) was an English poet, playwright, and actor. He is generally considered the greatest dramatist of all time, the greatest English writer, and one of the greatest writers in any language. Shakespeare is best known for his plays, many written for his own acting troupe, which are still regularly staged today.

King Lear was written around 1605 and is one of Shakespeare’s “Big Four” tragedies (the others being Hamlet, Macbeth, and Othello). Drawing on British mythology, Shakespeare tells a story of love, betrayal, and ultimately redemption. Of it, George Bernard Shaw said, “No man will ever write a better tragedy than Lear.”

This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for writing English developed in the mid-19th century at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah).
