England, mid-16th century. King Henry is living his final days, and his only heir, Prince Edward, to everyone's horror and grief, has lost his mind; he babbles nonsense, falls to his knees, and begs to be sent home!
An engaging and instructive story of two boys from "parallel worlds," born on the same day and by chance having exchanged places, is adapted in this edition using Ilya Frank's method: it is provided with a literal translation into Russian and necessary lexical-grammatical commentary (without simplifying the original text). The uniqueness of the method lies in the fact that the memorization of words and expressions occurs through their repetition, without cramming and the need to use a dictionary. Furthermore, the reader gets accustomed to the logic of the English language, starting to "feel" it.
This guide promotes effective language acquisition and can serve as a supplement to the educational program.
For a wide audience learning English and interested in Anglo-American culture.
