Synopsis

Webster's paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running English-to-Irish thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave by Frederick Douglass was edited for three audiences. The first includes Irish-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL or TOEIC preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled in bilingual education programs or Irish speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Irish in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement (AP) or similar examinations. By using the Rosetta Edition( when assigned for an English course, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Irish or English.

About this title

Review:

"Slavery, color, racism and the struggle for equal rights all come together in the Douglass story...a declaration of freedom by a runaway slave that became a powerful antislavery tract" (New York Times)

"Frederick Douglass has been hailed as one of history's most inspirational leaders and is a personal hero of Barack Obama who called him "the father of the civil rights movement"" (Mirror)

"His life retains an emblematic glow transcending its biographical ingredients" (Independent)
