A Midsummer Night's Dream Three Column Edition - Serafita Books - Volume 1
Author: William Shakespeare

Each volume contains the complete play and all of the extra features for students. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is volume 1. "Macbeth" is volume 2. The three column format allows students to understand the play completely for the first time. Shakespeare?s restored, original text is in the center column. The most thorough notes possible run a... more »longside in the right column, and the clearest and most accurate paraphrased version of the play ever available is in the left column. The original play and notes are on the right page. The paraphrased version faces the original play on the left page. The lines in both the notes and the paraphrased version are lined up exactly next to the lines in the original version of the play. Only the Three Column Edition has exact alignments for the quickest reading possible. This edition offers the most thorough notes you will ever find. All other Shakespeare books have many inaccurate notes and fail to provide notes to explain the most difficult lines in the plays for one simple reason--the editors of those books do not understand the meaning of the text! In our notes, every element in the meaning of every word and phrase is explained as clearly, completely, and quickly as possible. Every student can now enjoy and understand 100% of the play. No other book offers complete notes for the play or has notes that are written with such a depth of understanding of the meaning of the lines. This edition also offers the clearest paraphrased version of the play you will ever find next to and facing the original text of the play. Most of what makes Shakespeare?s lines difficult to understand is not outdated words, expressions, and cultural references. What makes his text difficult is the density of the ideas and the extreme stylization of our modern language. Our paraphrased Clear Version unpacks this dense poetry into longer and much clearer sentences. Every element of meaning becomes understandable. The Clear Version itself is an enjoyable work of art that catapults readers into appreciating the subtleties of Shakespeare?s original writing style and the thoughtfulness of his words. Other books distort and water down Shakespeare?s language. They skip over the most difficult phrases and leave those parts out of their paraphrased versions. Our book offers the only paraphrased version ever published that accurately conveys the meaning of Shakespeare?s text. Readers can now completely understand all the aspects of Shakespeare?s play, including the characterization, plot, style, and atmosphere. This book contains five additional student resources. The 70 pages of student resources in the book include a detailed summary of the play, a brief summary, a list of quotes from the play arranged by theme with commentary and paraphrased versions of the quotes, a glossary, and a section that explains personification, which is the most difficult part of understanding Shakespeare?s language. The Three Column Edition of "Macbeth" is also available from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, and Amazon sites in continental Europe.
