Foreign languages books
Today, many works, even those not very well known to the wide circle of readers of the authors, are actively translated into Ukrainian. However, it is best to read books in the original language, because you get access to original images and detailed descriptions that are not available in translations. In the online store book.ua, you can order works of art and other literature in the original, which not only improve your foreign language skills, but also allow you to enjoy literary masterpieces in their authentic form.
The most common languages for foreign literature
We are trying to constantly expand the literature catalog, offering our customers books in different languages of the world. Here you can buy fiction books and textbooks in the original in English, German, French, Italian, Polish, Spanish, which gives you the opportunity to enjoy the works of great writers without losing the details of the original.
The opportunity to read books in the original
Real bookworms cannot imagine their lives without literature. After getting acquainted with great works, there is a desire to read them in the original. Superficial knowledge will not give a full understanding, because many nuances, complex constructions and terms will remain hidden from the reader — many of them are simply impossible to translate.
Today, English is the most common language of foreign fiction, in which most popular books are published, which later become the basis for films and TV series. Skip
them – means missing out on a whole host of incredible stories.
In our online catalogue you will find fiction books in foreign languages that have gained worldwide popularity and broken sales records. You will have the opportunity to enjoy the works in the original language and notice the nuances that may have been lost in translation. By reading even an adapted book, you will significantly broaden your horizons.
How to choose a book that matches your language level
Of course, for people who are good at a foreign language, any book in the original is ready-to-read literature, they just have to choose something to their taste. But what to do if the literary classics in the original are still too complex, and educational texts or news are not exciting? Adapted works will be the way out.
Discussions among English teachers about whether adapted books are suitable for language learning have been going on for a long time. This really has its advantages and disadvantages. In adapted books in English, almost all plot elements remain unchanged. However, the style of the work is significantly simplified: syntactic constructions become simpler, complex words are replaced with synonyms, and difficult-to-understand stylistic turns disappear.
Usually, classic works or popular modern books are chosen for adaptation, because they most often arouse interest among readers. However, among the adapted books there are also those that were written specifically for educational purposes, taking into account different age groups or levels of language proficiency.
It is worth noting right away that adapted books in English are educational, not artistic publications. Therefore, during adaptation, the author's style is often simplified, and artistic means may be lost. If you want to completely immerse yourself in the original text, adapted books are not for you. This can be done later, when the level of language proficiency allows you to read the original.
Adapted books and textbooks for language learning are aimed at different levels of language proficiency. The higher the level, the more complex the text — both lexically and grammatically. Each level has a certain percentage of new words, different sentence lengths and complexity of grammatical structures.
