Cambridge School Shakespeare Macbeth

This version is slightly basic in some respects in that it's (obviously) aimed for use in schools, but it contains the `original text in Shakespeare's language', but with some of the more obscure words explained on the facing pages. I love Lady Macbeth. Her strengths, and later weaknesses are written so well. I like the way that Shakespeare (in the plays that I've read so far, anyway) writes strong female characters, and I find that quite ironic seeing as women weren't allowed to act in the plays at the time because it would be 'disgusting' to see a woman act! An honourable mention must go to The Weïrd Sisters and Hecate simply for the delivery of their lines and the wonderful imagery that they conjure up! Their incantations are just wonderful! This book is to be highly recommended for students who think that Shakespeare is difficult - his words really aren't, and this will help. This is the first Shakespeare that I've attempted to read on my own (I've only ever `done' Shakespeare in a class situation before a few years ago as a mature student) though and it's definitely encouraged me to read more. I already have the same editions of Twelfth Night and Hamlet on my bookcase that I've been putting off but I will definitely pick them up at some stage now!

This book was in excellent condition when it arrived. It also arrived earlier than predicted. The book itself is simply amazing and has notes to help you understand what is going on in the story if you are not use to that type of language. All in all, I am thoroughly please with the timing and quality of this book.

I was really glad when i received this product through the post! It has been a great help, being as I am studying this play for my GCSE. I also was happy to see some of the notes had been left as I was then able to have extra understanding of the play. Only thing I would say, is that it didn't state on the description that it had been doodled in and written in.

if you are studying Macbeth in school, as I am, then this is the exact version used by most teachers (may want to check first) and has the script, explanations of the Shakespearean language as well as many hints and tips about analysing it. just what I needed and asked for.

Book has graffiti on it, needed it to teach my class and can’t exactly pass if round with that on the page. For the price you wouldn’t expect a used/ damaged item

Came on tiime and value for money - Think I paid £6 something for it. Just hope I pass the exam now.

When used in conjunction with lessons, this became a very useful tool in preparation for writing the essays.

It's the book I wanted and if your studying Macbeth its the perfect book.even though it arrived late that's why I gave it 4 stars

This was the first crime novel. A bitchy wife consumed with gaining power then goes mad. The witches for a bit of darkness. The Noble man who is corruped by power as the suduction of his soul

Über das Werk an sich möchte ich an dieser Stelle nicht viele Worte verlieren, denn dass Shakespeare allgemein und insbesondere in der englischen Originalausgabe keine leichte Lektüre ist dürfte sicherlich jedem bekannt sein. Dennoch sollte man nicht davor zurückschrecken sich mit diesem großartigen Stück, das wie kaum ein anderes die Abgründe des menschlichen Wesens erforscht, auseinanderzusetzen. Am wichtigsten ist es deshalb bei so "schwerer Kost" zum besseren Verständnis die richtige Buchausgabe zu wählen. Dabei kann ich Ihnen und insbesondere Schülern nur den Kauf dieses Exemplars aus folgenden Gründen empfehlen: + Schwierige oder heute nicht mehr gebräuchliche Vokabeln sind am Rand erläutert + Jeder Akt wird an dessen Ende nochmals zum besseren Verständnis auf zwei Seiten zusammengefasst + Neben Shakespeares Originaltext findet man Texte und Bilder, welche die Umsetzung des Werkes auf der Bühne veranschaulichen + Interpretationsaufgaben geben gute Denkanstöße und eignen sich für Schüler/Studenten super zum Lernen + In den Begleittexten (englisch) wird viel Wert auf das korrekte Verständnis der Charaktere und von Shakespeares/ Macbeths Zeit gelegt + Das Buch ist zu großen Teilen in Farbe gedruckt und auch die Druck- sowie Papierqualität überzeugt + Nicht zuletzt ist auch der Preis angesichts der hervorragenden Qualität unschlagbar! Fazit: Absolute Kaufempfehlung für alle die einen leichten und fundierten Zugang zu Shakespeares Werk suchen! Ich hoffe, dass ich Ihnen mit dieser Rezension bei Ihrer Kaufentscheidung behilflich sein konnte!

Envoi rapide, propre, et pas cher... Un bon Shakespeare est toujours grandiose ! Très belle édition ! Je le recommande vivement à tous les amateurs de littérature.

Die Mischung aus Text, Begleitmaterial und Bildern ist toll - auch wenn man nicht mehr in die Schule geht ein interessantes Buch
