Each book is translated into plain and simple English (while still preserving the integrity and intent of the author) The following works are included in this anthology: Hamlet by William Shakespeare Beowulf Paradise Lost by John Milton The Bhagavad-Gita Inferno by Dante Alighieri Oedipus At Colonus by Sophocles This anthology does not present a line-by-line comparison of the original book; if that is what you are looking for, each of the books in this collection may be purchased separately.
