      Klasický dobrodružný román, jehož hrdina se s několika přáteli vydá hledat poklad obávaného kapitána Flinta. Účastníci výpravy čelí nejen nástrahám moře, ale i vzpouře posádky a bezohledné touze jejích členů po zlatě. Toto vydání je stylisticky zjednodušeno, poslední díl je obsahově zkrácen a naopak jsou krátce vylíčeny další osudy chlapeckého hrdiny. Ilustrace zdůrazňují drsný charakter příběhu. V této podobě je kniha přístupná už dětem středního školního věku.

    • A comedy play about a lesbian, a wedding-day bonk, a mother who contracts Alzheimer's and finding failure and frivolity (a sure sign of dramatic honesty) in the face of domestic hell. It is about the unlyrical business of coping when real life knocks on the door.

    • One of the best-known, most frequently performed of modern plays, A Doll's House richly displays the genius with which Henrik Ibsen pioneered modern, realistic prose drama. In the central character of Nora, Ibsen epitomized the human struggle against the humiliating constraints of social conformity. Nora's ultimate rejection of a smothering marriage and life in "a doll's house" shocked theatergoers of the late 1800s and opened new horizons for playwrights and their audiences. But daring social themes are only one aspect of Ibsen's power as a dramatist. A Doll's House shows as well his gifts for creating realistic dialogue, a suspenseful flow of events and, above all, psychologically penetrating characterizations that make the struggles of his dramatic personages utterly convincing. Here is a deeply absorbing play as readable as it is eminently playable, reprinted from an authoritative translation. A selection of the Common Core State Standards Initiative.
