Synopsis

Behind a Mask, or, A Woman's Power by Louisa May Alcott is a captivating novella that delves into themes of identity, deception, and ambition. The story follows Jean Muir, a seemingly modest governess who hides her true cunning and manipulative nature. As she ingratiates herself into the wealthy Coventry family, her hidden motives slowly come to light. Alcott's tale is a brilliant exploration of female power and societal expectations in the 19th century.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of synonyms and antonyms for difficult and often ambiguous English words that are encountered in other works of literature, conversation, or academic examinations. Extremely rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority in the notes compared to words which are ¿difficult, and often encountered¿ in examinations. Rather than supply a single synonym, many are provided for a variety of meanings, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of the English language, and avoid using the notes as a pure crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficult word is not noted on a page, chances are that it has been highlighted on a previous page. A more complete thesaurus is supplied at the end of the book; synonyms and antonyms are extracted from Webster's Online Dictionary.
