Don't be intimidated by Shakespeare! These popular guides make the Bard's plays accessible and enjoyable. Each No Fear guide contains : The complete text of the original play A line-by-line translation that puts the words into everyday language A complete list of characters , with descriptions Plenty of helpful commentary Review: This saved my GPA - This was a savior for me in class. Seriously, if you have any trouble understanding what is even going on in any Shakespeare play (I had a lot of trouble), buy this. It is a miracle inside of book. One side of the page has the actual text and the other side basically translates it into more modern English. Review: If you're struggling to read King Lear, get this book! - Let me start by saying that I truly appreciate the perfection of Shakespeare's original language. I would rather not have to read the No Fear version, but, alas, I live in the 21st century and Shakespearean English is not my first language. ;) Thus No Fear is a huge time and effort saver! I am studying King Lear in Literature class and my school is performing it. Reading No Fear is great for understanding the plot -- way better than reading summaries alone. After reading the NF version (and/or online Spark Notes summaries) for a given scene or two, I go back and read the original text of that portion. (The format of the book is original text on the left page, and NF on the right.) Long story short, while I do not recommend reading exclusively the No Fear Shakespeare "translation", I highly recommend it as a tool for understanding the play better. Get this book! It's a life-saver! :) ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #252,135 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #65 in Teen & Young Adult Book Notes #234 in Shakespeare Dramas & Plays #463 in Study Guides (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 567 Reviews | ## Images ![King Lear: No Fear Shakespeare Side-By-Side Plain English (Sparknotes No Fear Shakespeare) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qkWAav5yL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This saved my GPA *by K***N on January 14, 2015* This was a savior for me in class.

They make all the difference to me, a new student to Shakespeare, at the ripe age of 59 years old....now I can understand and appreciate these amazing works of literature. Much of what he writes makes my hair stand on end.
