Today, it's my first appearance in this conversation... :D

During this summer, I have to read this novel to prepare the next course in the EOI. The title is Sherlock Holmes Stories... :lista:

For the moment, I like this detective novel because it's very enjoyable! :wink:

Thanks for your welcome, larousse :60:

I usually read two books during the summer. In my opinion, it's very useful to prepare the next course. I hope so!... :roll:

I think it's not the complete saga. In fact, it's an adaptation for my English Level -the second course of intermediate level- :wink:

See you :hola:

The publisher, which this book is printed, is The Black Cat -Publishing Cideb-. This publishing house is very interesting because all the novels are graduated for differents reader levels. In this case, this detective novel has the book and the CD.

Greetings :hola:

Don't you think this one is hard to read in English, Aben? I found it slightly difficult even in Spanish :lol: I guess that language changes a little bit from ours

In my opinion, this novel is very difficult because it is a psychological protrait and an autobiography, too. For example, the rude personality of few character.

As for the language, Emily Brönte wrote this novel in 1847, that is in the beginning of Victorian ages. I think it is a question very important to understand this book.

I love Wuthering Heights :D but I've only read it in Spanish. Is it the original version, Aben? I think it must be quite difficult for the vocabulary.

I think it's a splendid piece of art. I read this novel during the last cours in the EOI.

No, it's an adaptation for my English level, although I have found some words and expressions very complicated for my level... :roll:

See you, Ayrween :60: and thanks a lot for your opinion and participation... :wink:

I have some adapted books from that publisher. We used to read it a lot in highschool and I think theyr adaptations are really good.

Btw, will you allow me to correct a little mistake? Instead of saying "which this book is printed" you can say "which printed this book" or "which this book was printed by". I think thats the correct way to say that :wink: :60:

I have never read Wuthering Heights. Its one of those books I want to read very badly and, at the same time, Im affraid Im not gonna be able to finnish it as it seems kinda "hard" to read :shock:

Last year I read Wuthering Heights, at first I tried to read it in English, because I'm used to reading in English lot of victorian books, Austen, Gaskell,... But I found this one specially difficult, so there were parts, I had to read it in Spanish.

So in your case you have read some writers of the Victorian age, I think that you should understand much better the context and the word... :roll:
