The book offers G. Green's work "The Third Man", adapted (without simplifying the original text) according to the method of Ilya Frank. The uniqueness of the method lies in the fact that memorization of words and expressions occurs due to their repetition, without memorization and the need to use a dictionary. The manual promotes effective language acquisition and can serve as a supplement to grammar textbooks or to basic classes. Intended for students, for those studying English on their own, as well as for everyone interested in English culture. An English detective and thriller at the same time (lots of action). A witty (you will definitely laugh) and psychologically subtle book, from the pen of one of the outstanding masters of British prose of the 20th century.
