William Shakespeare
Proponujemy Państwu publikację dwujęzyczną – angielską i polską.

Czytanie dzieł w oryginale to jedna z najlepszych metod nauki języka obcego, a także ogromna przyjemność. The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet to jeden z najbardziej znanych utworów Shakespeare'a. Jest to czysta, młodzieńcza tragedia opowiedziana wierszem jednocześnie lekkim, jak i pobudzającym uwagę i napięcie. Jak pisze badacz literatury angielskiej George Sampson, scena angielska nie słyszała muzyki słów równie ujmującej. Dlatego też ogromną wartość ma czytanie dzieła w oryginale. Takie postaci, jak Romeo, Julia, Mercutio i Niania należą obecnie do światowej mitologii.

Sinclair Lewis
“The Willow Walk” is a book by Sinclair Lewis an American writer. In 1930, he became the first writer from the United States to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. “The Willow Walk” is a short story by Sinclair Lewis. “From the drawer of his table Jasper Holt took a pane of window glass. He laid a sheet of paper on the glass and wrote, “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party.” He studied his round business-college script, and rewrote the sentence in a small finicky hand, that of a studious old man. Ten times he copied the words in that false pinched writing. He tore up the paper, burned the fragments in his large ash tray and washed the delicate ashes down his stationary washbowl. He replaced the pane of glass in the drawer, tapping it with satisfaction. A glass underlay does not retain an impression.” Preview.
