Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An American classic becomes even more readable with a translation of the dialect of the enslaved characters. The underlying interplay of actions and motives comes to the surface, and the bond of friendship between Huck and Jim emerges more vividly. Jim's decisions take on the dignity of shrewd acumen and practical wisdom. The novel's powerful story surges as appealingly as the relentless river on which Huck and Jim's raft drifts. Best of all, this illustrated edition can be read aloud to any audience, of any age, anywhere. - The Editors, Alan Gribben and Irene WongThe Translated Dialect Edition of Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn adapts the dialect spoken by characters whose enslavement denied them access to literacy. Prohibited from attending schools, the enslaved population developed an oral language containing words not found in a dictionary and transgressing every grammatical rule of standard English. During the 1870s and 1880s a brief vogue arose for exhibiting these dialects in literary works. A curious public found their strange usages fascinating. As decades passed, however, subsequent readers began to view the obfuscating syntax and unorthodox diction as annoying and baffling rather than appealing. Today, the dialects prevalent in the 1840s that Mark Twain scrupulously transcribed for purposes of realism risk undesirable consequences. Uninformed readers can too easily jump to erroneous conclusions about the intelligence of the enslaved characters solely on the basis of their utter ignorance of the conventions of the English language. Jim, Huckleberry Finn's companion in their joint flight for freedom, is sometimes misread as limited in his intellectual capacities on account of his idiosyncratic expressions. The Translated Dialect Edition resolves these problems by asking readers to accept minor editorial compromises. Slight alterations in spelling and phrasing elevate the tone of the enslaved characters' dialogue, illuminate their intentions, and reveal their pragmatism. The translation retains the backwoods flavor of folk speech Mark Twain captured by leaving intact the grammatical errors of all the characters. The editors' decision to eliminate offensive racial slurs and references yields a version of Twain's classic that can be read aloud to any audience, of any age, anywhere. Illustrations from the novel's first edition-modified to give them a more contemporary look-add to the reader's pleasure in reading or rereading Twain's acclaimed masterpiece.…

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 272 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The Translated Dialect Edition of Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, fully annotated and illustrated with over 100 of True Williams's original drawings, is the most enjoyable edition of this novel ever published. Adulthood is a remote prospect to the youths of a riverside village who whitewash a fence, attend school and church, play Robin Hood, experience puppy love, witness a murder, raft on the Mississippi River, skylark on an island, attend their own funerals, get lost in a cave, and find buried treasure. Tom Sawyer is the book that introduces Huckleberry Finn, who will narrate his own story as a masterful sequel to this rollicking, nostalgic fantasy about boyhood. Vastly more critical commentary has been devoted to Adventures of Huckleberry Finn than to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. It is easy to understand why. An adult narrator tells Tom Sawyer's story, and all of it takes place in a small village. When Mark Twain had the inspiration to feature an outcast boy from that novel for a sequel, he wisely let Huckleberry Finn relate, in his own priceless voice, the hazardous adventures he undergoes after leaving St. Petersburg. All the same, readers who jump into Huck's weightier story without first meeting the cast of characters in Tom Sawyer are starting in medias res, cheating themselves of the simpler warm-up book before undertaking a complex and rewarding spin-off masterpiece, and defeating Mark Twain's plan to produce an integral chronicle in two volumes. (He would attempt additional sequels, but those lacked the magic of these first books.).…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book examines how socio-cultural context affects the learning of nursing students. It builds on this to introduce a new approach for educators to effectively teach clinical skills by taking these contexts into account, whether they are in the skills laboratory, the ward or the classroom.Moving away from traditional ideas about teaching students by rote, this text draws on research findings, educational theories, and case studies to demonstrate how skills acquisition is influenced by the learner's socio-cultural context. It utilises a social constructionist conceptual framework drawing upon the work of a series of scholars - including Benjamin Bloom, Patricia Benner, Albert Bandura and Lev Vygotsky - to examine elements essential for nursing skills development and to highlight four broad areas to focus on: environmental factors, human-related factors, cultural factors and skills learning specific factors. Dr Irene Y.F. Wong then introduces a new approach for conducting clinical nursing skills education that is sensitive to these factors and promotes more effective learning.This thoughtful book is an essential read for nursing and healthcare academics and professionals with an interest in clinical skills education.…
