Winesburg, Ohio (THORNDIKE PRESS LARGE PRINT PERENNIAL BESTSELLERS SERIES) - Hardcover

Winesburg, Ohio (1919) is Sherwood Anderson's masterpiece, a cycle of short stories concerning life in a small Ohio town at the end of the nineteenth century. At the centre is George Willard, a young reporter who becomes the confidant of the town's 'grotesques' - solitary figures unable to communicate with others. George is their conduit for expression and solace from loneliness, but he has his own longings which eventually draw him away from home to seek a career in the city. He carries with him the dreams and unuttered words of remarkable characters such as Wing Biddlebaum, the disgraced former teacher, and the story-telling Doctor Parcival.

Webster's paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running English-to-Czech thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of Winesburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson was edited for three audiences. The first includes Czech-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 Czech speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Czech in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement� (AP�) or similar examinations. By using the Webster's Czech Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Czech or English.
