"Поредицата "Adapted stories" на издателство "Веси" е предназначена за читатели, които са средно напреднали или напреднали (ниво B1 - C1) в обучението си по английски език. Тук оригиналният текст не е адаптиран в общия смисъл на понятието. Вместо да бъдат извадени относително сложните думи и изрази, те са допълнително обяснени. Идиоматичните, фразеологичните и някои по-особени лексикални форми са преведени под черта. За научните понятия (исторически, географски, митологични и пр.) са дадени обяснителни бележки. А евентуално непознатите за читателите думи (при предполагаем наличен минимум от тях ... |

Finely drawn characters, gentle satire and wonderful recreation of genteel life in the English countryside. ... |

Two sisters of opposing temperament but who share the pangs of tragic love provide the subjects for Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility". Elinor, practical and conventional, the epitome of sense, desires a man who is promised to another woman.

Complete and unabridged. A pocket sized book - 10 x 15.5 cm. ...

When she moves to Bath she sees mystery and intrigue all around her, not least of all in "Northanger Abbey" itself, the home of General Tilney and his handsome son Henry, where Catherine suspects a sinister crime has occurred.
