Category Description for No Fear Classics (Plain English)
The best literature endures. That's good on the one hand because it means the stories have captivating and lasting merit. On the other hand, it often means they are hard to read and understand. The language has changed over the centuries both in terms of what words mean and in how they're used. The No Fear Classics provide a readable side-by-side, line-by-line translation - original language on one side and its meaning in understandable modern English/American lightly sprinkled with editorial notes and comments on the other. This means it's no longer necessary to be constantly looking up things as you read. Each
