Webster's paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running English-to-Danish thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton was edited for three audiences. The first includes Danish-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL or TOEIC preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled in bilingual education programs or Danish speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Danish in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement (AP) or similar examinations. By using the Webster's Danish Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Danish or English.

Book Description:

Cambridge Literature is a series of literary texts edited for study by students 14-18 years old in English-speaking classrooms.

From the Back Cover:

Set against the bleak winter landscape of New England, Ethan Frome tells the story of a poor farmer, lonely and downtrodden, his wife Zeena, and her cousin, the enchanting Mattie Silver. In the playing out of this short novel's powerful and engrossing drama, Edith Wharton constructed her least characteristic and most celebrated book. In its unyielding and shocking pessimism, its bleak demonstration of tragic waste, it is a masterpiece of psychological and emotional realism. In her introduction the distinguished critic Elaine Showalter discusses the background to the novel's composition and the reasons for its enduring success.
