The story of the National Youth Orchestra of Iraq is here told by its musical director from its inception to its eventual end. The NYOI came through the most difficult and dangerous of times to produce fine music not only in Iraq but also in Britain; Germany; France and the United States. A beacon of hope and achievement the young musicians and their tutors made bridges across their own ethnic divisions; made great music in the most trying and tragic of circumstances; and became their countryrsquo;s best ambassadors in 5000 years.

I dont want my students using "no fear Shakespeare" because I want them to learn to read these themselves. The Folger editions are like "no fear Shakespeare" for smart people only because it doesnt spell everything out. You still have to understand the text. They have the definitions on one side of the page and the text on the other. Its certainly handy.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

And you thought you were wittyBy AbsolemNot much to say honestly. because I havent got a thing on Shakespeare except to say I love his work. his characters. his wit. his charm. the comedy. the tragedy. and...well you probably get my point.Henry IV Part I is personally my favorite of his plays and I take the typical stance of being a Falstaff sympathizer (expedited by Roger Allams portrayal at Shakespeares Globe and Orson Welles in Chimes at Midnight). but enjoy all the characters and their interactions.Folger Shakespeare Library has been an excellent resource for me. as I came to these plays with absolutely no knowledge of Shakespeare whatsoever. There are word translations on one side of the page and text summaries for each act. and the occasional illustration. Cant ask for more for $6. 5 stars.
