Descrizione dell’editore
A Step 5 Reading and Training graded reader, retold by Maud Jackson. Regarded by many as the first English novel, Defoe’s famous story
celebrates how Robinson Crusoe, shipwrecked on a desert island,
manages to survive and prosper through his own resourcefulness.
This reader uses the EXPANSIVE READING approach, where the text
becomes a springboard to improve language skills and to explore
historical background, cultural connections and other topics
suggested by the text. As well as the story, this reader contains:
• An introduction: Daniel Defoe and his World
• A wide range of interactive activities practising the four skills
• Dossiers: The Slave Trade, Shipwrecks and others
• FCE-style activities and Trinity-style activities (Grades 7/8)
• A full recording of the text
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Newly abridged by Timothy Meis, James Fenimore Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans comes to life under the paintbrush of N.C. Wyeth, with illustrations originally published in 1919. The artist offers readers a close-up view of the French and Indian War, in paintings such as British colonel Duncan's struggle against a Huron warrior or the Mohican Chingachgook similarly fighting off another Huron warrior in the clearing of a wood. Wyeth's paintings also accompany Meis's adaptation of Daniel DeFoe's Robinson Crusoe, due out in February.
