English with Rafael Sabatini. The Odyssey of Captain Blood. In the Service of Three Kings

Captain Blood and his companions have become a force that all the powers competing in the Caribbean waters must reckon with. Each participant in the game would prefer to see Blood as an ally, although if given the chance, they would not hesitate to stab him in the back. Nevertheless, Captain Blood's main dream remains to find a way to the impregnable heart of the distant and beautiful Arabella. He is willing to do anything for this! The concluding chapters of the legendary novel by R. Sabatini are adapted in this publication using Ilya Frank's method: they are provided with a literal translation into Russian and necessary lexical and grammatical commentary (without simplifying the original text). Memorization of words and expressions occurs through their repetition, without cramming or the need to use a dictionary. Additionally, the reader becomes accustomed to the logic of the English language and begins to 'feel' it.

For a wide audience studying the English language and interested in English culture.
