English with Rafael Sabatini. The Odyssey of Captain Blood. Thief and Pirate

The second part of "The Odyssey" tells of the brilliant victories that transformed Captain Blood into one of the most respected commanders of the "Brotherhood of the Coast." However, the joy of these victories cannot overpower the bitterness of the realization of the immense and insurmountable chasm separating our hero from the love of his life. The next seven chapters of the novel - from the thirteenth to the nineteenth - are adapted in this edition using Ilya Frank's method: provided with a literal translation into Russian and necessary lexical and grammatical commentary (without simplifying the text of the original). Memorization of words and expressions occurs through their repetition, without rote learning or the need to use a dictionary. Moreover, the reader becomes accustomed to the logic of the English language and begins to "feel" it. For a wide audience of those studying English and interested in English culture.
