| romeo and juliet simple english: Things Fall Apart Chinua Achebe, 1994-09-01 “A true classic of world literature . . . A masterpiece that has inspired generations of writers in Nigeria, across Africa, and around the world.” —Barack Obama “African literature is incomplete and unthinkable without the works of Chinua Achebe.” —Toni Morrison Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read Things Fall Apart is the first of three novels in Chinua Achebe's critically acclaimed African Trilogy. It is a classic narrative about Africa's cataclysmic encounter with Europe as it establishes a colonial presence on the continent. Told through the fictional experiences of Okonkwo, a wealthy and fearless Igbo warrior of Umuofia in the late 1800s, Things Fall Apart explores one man's futile resistance to the devaluing of his Igbo traditions by British political andreligious forces and his despair as his community capitulates to the powerful new order. With more than 20 million copies sold and translated into fifty-seven languages, Things Fall Apart provides one of the most illuminating and permanent monuments to African experience. Achebe does not only capture life in a pre-colonial African village, he conveys the tragedy of the loss of that world while broadening our understanding of our contemporary realities. |

| romeo and juliet simple english: The First Quarto of Romeo and Juliet Lukas Erne, 2011-06-02 Two different versions of Romeo and Juliet were published during Shakespeare's lifetime: the second quarto of 1599, on which modern editions are usually based, and the first quarto of 1597. The latter version was long denigrated as a 'bad' quarto', but recent scholarship sees in it a crucial witness for the theatrical practices of Shakespeare and his company. The shorter of the two versions by about one quarter, the first quarto has high-paced action, fuller stage directions than the second quarto, and fascinating alternatives to the famous speeches in the longer version. The introduction to this edition provides a full discussion of the origins of the first quarto, before analysing its distinguishing features and presenting a concise history of the 1597 version. The text is provided with a full collation and commentary which alert the reader to crucial differences between the first and the second quartos. |

| romeo and juliet simple english: Macbeth: Simple English Edition: The Original Play in Modern, Easy-to-Understand English William Shakespeare, 2024-12-03 Macbeth: Translated into Modern English with cutting edge AI technology. Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy has captivated audiences for centuries with its powerful exploration of ambition, power, guilt, and the devastating consequences of moral compromise. Yet for many modern readers, the beauty and depth of Macbeth can be obscured by the language of Shakespeare’s time. This edition is here to change that. Macbeth: Simple English Edition preserves the full structure, plot, and intensity of the original play while translating its language into clear, contemporary English. Our goal is not to simplify Shakespeare’s ideas, but to make them more accessible for today’s audience. The rich imagery, complex characters, and profound themes remain intact, while the language is updated for clarity and ease of understanding. To complement this, the full original text is included at the end of the book, allowing readers to explore both versions side by side. Whether you’re a student encountering Macbeth for the first time, a theater enthusiast revisiting this iconic story, or a curious reader eager to experience Shakespeare without the barrier of archaic English, this edition is for you. Every soliloquy, every twist of the plot, and every word has been carefully reimagined to stay true to Shakespeare’s intent while making the text accessible to all. Step into the world of Scotland’s most infamous king and queen—a world where ambition spirals into madness, power corrupts absolutely, and the supernatural weaves its haunting presence throughout. From the witches’ cryptic prophecies to Lady Macbeth’s harrowing descent into guilt, and from Macbeth’s gripping battles to the ultimate redemption of Scotland, this tragedy remains as compelling and relevant today as ever. We hope this modernized edition deepens your appreciation of Shakespeare’s genius and makes one of the greatest plays ever written more accessible, engaging, and impactful. The drama awaits—enter, and let Macbeth speak to you in a voice both familiar and eternal. Enjoy the journey! |
