Classics from some of world literature's most renowned authors are
meticulously translated for young adult readers in this series of
quality hardcovers. Each title includes vibrant illustrations and a
full-color section about the author, the work, and the time period in
which it was penned. Argan is sick and bedridden, and spends his days
complaining about his pain, eagerly awaiting the remedies prescribed for
him by doctors who are more interested in profiting from his malady than
they are in determining its causes. Adding insult to Argan's injury, his
daughter Angelique has fallen in love with a wholly unsuitable suitor.
Fortunately, though, the family's faithful servant Toinette is on hand,
and although she isn't a doctor, she has a solution for every problem.
Clasicos de algunos de los autores mas destacados de la literatura
mundial son cuidadosamente traducidos para adolescentes en esta serie de
ediciones de calidad de tapa dura. Cada titulo incluye ilustraciones
vividas y una seccion a todo color sobre el autor, la obra y la epoca en
la que fue escrito. Argan esta enfermo y encamado, y pasa los dias
quejandose, pendiente de los remedios que le prescriben unos medicos mas
deseos de ganar dinero a expensas de la enfermedad que de cortar de raiz
sus causas. Y por si ese tormento fuera poco, su hija Angelique se ha
enamorado del pretendiente equivocado. Por suerte ahi esta Toinette, la
criada, que no es medico pero tiene remedio para todo.
