This historic tale of war and peace between England and France in the reign of Henry V is presented just as Shakespeare intended' only more visually engaging! See and experience the Battle of Agincourt as never before ' and fully appreciate a decisive chapter in the history of the realm. This award winning title not only provides a wonderful treatment of the text, but also interesting background pieces on Shakespeare, King Henry V and the Battle of Agincourt. As with all our Shakespeare titles the period is faithful to the Bard's intentions, and there is a choice of three text versions. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

You might say that this has been done before and I agree it has been tried for all sorts of classics. But most of the time, they use abridged versions, dumbed down to fit on the page and leave more room for artwork. Not so Classical Comics. They give us not one version, but three. There is the unabridged version, best for the high school student or adult, the plain text version, which uses modern English to give us the gist of the Bard’s meaning, and the quick text version, which is a great way to introduce potential lovers of the classics, especially elementary age children.
I highly recommend reading Henry V as one of the greatest epics of all time, and I recommend these particular editions from Classical Comics as the best for understanding the plays, short of seeing it them performed live.
