Описание

Книга для изучения английского языка с упражнениями и словарём. In the streets of sixteenth-century London, two boys are born on the same day - one into luxury, the other into poverty. Edward, Prince of Wales, lives in a magnificent palace surrounded by servants and endless riches. Tom Canty, a poor beggar boy, dreams of a better life from the dirty alleyways of the city. By a strange twist of fate, the two boys meet and discover they are identical in appearance. On a whim, they decide to swap clothes and suddenly find themselves living each other's lives. The prince experiences the harsh reality of poverty and injustice, while the pauper struggles to survive in the overwhelming world of royalty and court intrigue. A captivating tale of identity, justice and compassion that reminds us that true worth lies not in wealth or title but in kindness and character.
