Manga Classics: Jane Eyre

Eu me interessei em Hamlet, pq compre um livro do Leandro Karnal que fala sobre a peça num relato pessoal dele. Bem, se vc não está acostumado a ler um livro nesse estilo de leitura (peça teatral), terá uma certa dificuldade para prestar atenção. Nunca tinha lido um livro nesse estilo e encontrei certa dificuldades, mas resolvi persistir e aos poucos fui pegando o jeito. Mas nem tão cedo vou ler outro novamente. Enfim, a história em si é muito boa como todos que leem dizem que é. O Hamlet é de certa forma fala sobre amor, ódio e vingança e como cada personagem encara isso na história.

Nota original no Skoob: 4,5/5.

I was brought up reading Shakespeare from an early age as my late father was an English teacher and wanted me to be ‘well read’ and Macbeth was one of my favourites as he would sometimes read the parts with me in his Scottish accent. So when I saw that there were Manga versions of the Shakespeare plays I was curious as to how something that’s traditionally told on the stage would come across in this medium.

I loved it.

The artwork is so well done, and the language of William Shakespeare is woven well into the storytelling, I think these books would be perfect for students who were struggling with the more traditional methods of telling the tale of an overly ambitious laird who murders his way onto the Scottish crown. The emotions the characters experience are so vivid thanks to the style of the artwork and helped draw you into this centuries old tale.

These books should be available in every school library and are a fantastic way of telling stories that even after all these years still draw in so many readers or attendees of the plays in. Whether you’re new to the tales or not - I think these are a great read for any age.
