"Read in English": Pride and Prejudice (Upper-Intermediate)

“Pride and Prejudice” is the best known novel of the famous British writer Jane Austen (1775—1817). Amorous hearts every now and then easily get over social barriers but sometimes they fail skirting the walls of their own pride, natural misapprehensions or even prejudice. 21-year-old Jane Austen succeeded in revealing so masterly aspirations and disappointments, anxieties and feelings of enamoured Elizabeth and Mr Darcy that even today millions of readers of different generations admirably read her novel. It is notable for its touching romantic mood, light humour, psychologically exact portraits of its characters. If it were not for this book, there would be possibly neither “psychological” nor “chick-lit” novels, nor even feminist literature in general.

For people who want a quick and easy start to writing a novel or novella (for National Novel Writing Month, for example or impress that special someone), this provides a framework by using an Agatha Christie novel as a basis plot and characters. By keeping the plot premises and altering the rest, a difficult task is made easier.


Did you ever want to write a novel, or even a novella, but the generation of a viable plot and the creation of characters and motives seem like an insurmountable task? Well, this little set of instructions can be an invaluable start. It analyzes the basics of Agatha Christie’s novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles (her first Hercule Poirot novel, which now in public domain), and shows how you and amend, tweak, or change her characters, her overall plot, and the basic plot twist to create your own “new” novel. Set it in you’re a place of your choice and in any time in history, and you’ll have a novel you’ll be (more or less) proud to have written. (Source: http://englishtips.org)

An Introduction to International Varieties of English


The title of this book, International Varieties of English, requires some comment. It might be expected that this would refer to varieties of English which arc used internationally, but this is not its normal field of use. 




Instead, it is a well-established label for varieties of English which are used nationally in different places in the world. Although ‘national varieties of English’ might be a more transparent term, this widely accepted though slightly peculiar use of‘international varieties’ is maintained in this book...
