Heracles and Other Plays
Жанр: Oxford University Press Страниц: 224 Дата загрузки: 07 апреля 20092002-06-28
|
|
Euripides wrote about timeless themes, of friendship and enmity, hope and despair, duty and betrayal. The first three plays in this volume are imbued with an atmosphere of violence, while the fourth, Cyclops, is our only surviving example of a genuine satyr play, with all the crude and slapstick humor that characterized the genre. Alcestis shows various reactions to death with pathos and grim humor while the blood-soaked Heracles portrays deep emotional pain and undeserved suffering. Children of Heracles deals with the effects of war on refugees and the consequences of sheltering them.

Medea and Other Plays
Жанр: Oxford University Press Страниц: 272 Дата загрузки: 26 декабря 20092003-05-24
|
|
Euripides was one of the most popular and controversial of all Greek tragedians, and his plays are marked by an independence of thought, ingenious dramatic devices, and a subtle variety of register and mood. He is also remarkable for the prominence he gave to female characters, whether heroines of virtue or vice. This new translation does full justice to Euripides's range of tone and gift of narrative. A lucid introduction provides substantial analysis of each play, complete with vital explanations of the traditions and background to Euripides's world.

Orestes and Other Plays
Жанр: Oxford University Press Страниц: 282 Дата загрузки: 16 мая 20092002-12-13

Orestes and Other Plays provides new translations of Ion, Orestes, The Phoenician Women and The Suppliant Women, plays that all explore ethical and political themes. Ion vividly portrays the role of chance in human life and the dynamics of family relationships. In Orestes, the most popular of the tragedian's plays about the ancient world, Euripides explores the emotional consequences of Orestes' murder of his mother on the individuals concerned, and makes the tale resonate with advice to Athens about the threat to democracy posed by political pressure groups. The Suppliant Women is a commentary on the politics of empire, as the Athenian king Theseus decides to use force of arms rather than persuasion against Thebes. The Phoenician Women transforms the terrible conflict between Oedipus' sons into one of the most savage indictments of civil war in Western literature by highlighting the personal tragedy it brings.

Oliver Twist
Жанр: Oxford University Press Страниц: 544 Дата загрузки: 20 октрября 20092004-09-30

Oliver Twist is a classic tale of a boy of unknown parentage born in a workhouse and brought up under the cruel conditions to which pauper children were exposed in the Victorian England. With this novel, Dickens did not merely write a topical satire on the workhouse system and the role of the 1834 New Poor Law in fostering criminality. He created a moral fable about the survival of good, a romance, and a gripping story in which he exploited suspense and violence more effectively than any of his contemporaries. The new Oxford World's Classics edition of Oliver Twist is based on the authoritative Clarendon edition, which uses Dickens's revised text of 1846. It includes his preface of 1841 in which he defended himself against hostile criticism, and includes all twenty-four original illustrations by George Cruikshank. Stephen Gill's groundbreaking introduction gives a fascinating new account of the novel. He also provides appendices on Dickens and Cruikshank, on Dickens's Preface and the Newgate Novel Controversy, on Oliver Twist and the New Poor Law, and on thieves' slang. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave
Жанр: Oxford University Press Страниц: 176 Дата загрузки: 11 июля 20092003-07-24
|
|
«I was born in Tuckahoe. I have no accurate knowledge of my age, never having seen any authentic record containing it. By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their ages as horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant.» So begins the now-classic personal account of Frederick Douglass (1818-1895), who was born into slavery in Maryland and after his escape to Massachusetts in 1838 became an ardent abolitionist and campaigner for women's rights. His Narrative, which was an instant bestseller upon publication in 1845, relates his experience as a slave, the cruelty he suffered at the hands of his masters, his struggle to educate himself, and his fight for freedom.»

Zabadoo is a four-level course that is designed to follow on from the two-level introductory series, Zap! Together, the six levels take children who have just started English right up to the end of primary school. The upper levels of the course give a greater emphasis on reading and writing. Zabadoo features engaging characters such as Zabadoo the genie, Bob the fish and Olly the octopus, who present English through stories, songs and written activities. An entertaining comic strip works as a gentle and motivating introduction to reading in English. Listening, reading and writing activities, as well as games pages and cut-outs, reinforce learning and the course is further enriched by songs from Carolyn Graham. At each level, life in Britain is presented through the eyes of a ten-year-old British boy in Will's website. This gives children opportunities for cross-cultural comparisons with life in their own country. Simple class plays to perform at Christmas and at the end of the school year give pupils further opportunities for practising language. This teacher's book provides a clear guide to the aims, objectives and methodology of the course, along with comprehensive teaching notes.
