You'll also find an outline of key themes and plot points to help readers form their own interpretations, detailed explanatory notes, and critical analysis, including contemporary and modern perspectives on the work. Discussions questions promote lively classroom and book group interaction and at the end of the book, there is a list of recommended and related books and films to broaden the reader's experience.
