| | Trash | 2021-05-13
Trash!overpriced, overrated, under-edited, two of the scenes are out of order, isn’t translated accurately. Don’t use it for studying.
| | Poor inventory management | 2021-05-10
Book had sticky notes on every other page. Permanent marker used on most pages, hiding some words. It was a copy clearly used by a student that should not have been resold. But can be read with some annoyance, this two stars instead of one.
| | Kaputte Kanten | 2021-05-04
Alles schön und gut, aber es ist schade das viele Bücher mit so kaputten Kanten geliefert werden. Das sieht vllt erst nicht groß aus, stört mich aber.
| | Classic Book | 2021-04-18
Nothing special just a classic book my son needed for school. Delivery was quick and it helped him get an A on his English exam.
| | Like images. | 2021-04-03
like the pictures. easy to understand the language.
| | Glad I had to read this one in school | 2021-03-31
Shakespeare's tragedy about racism.
| | Shakespeare's Best Villain | 2021-03-22
This is one of Shakespeare’s most subtle plays. Iago is an amazing villain, and I am always fascinated to see the play unfold around Iago’s designs. The other great tragedies (Hamlet, Lear, Macbeth) all have something supernatural and existential about them. Not Othello, though, and I think one of the most amazing things about it is how Shakespeare was able to craft such a masterpiece that depends entirely on Iago’s cunning and Othello’s psychology. I highly recommend giving it a read.I think
| | Now you too can understand Shakespeare! | 2021-03-19
So useful for former ELD students and idiots like me.
| | Shakespeare made easy | 2021-02-23
I ordered these for my Sophomores. My students love the modern version of the text. It’s definitely a must when teaching Shakespeare!!
| | Nice | 2021-02-23

| | A tragic tale of villiany | 2021-02-22
What a tragic turn when our hero puts his faith one who's false . OneI've after another at peril due to wretched falsehoods by an evil gossip.
| | Too generous with their “good” ratings | 2021-02-12
Book had spill stains and the pages were all bent. It was advertised as “good” condition. “Fair” would have been more accurate
| | Praktisch und günstig | 2021-02-03
Das ist mein zweites Shakespeare Stück von "Große Klassiker zum kleinen Preis".Praktische, einfache Ausgaben zu einem günstigen Preis. Top!
| | Missing scene | 2021-02-02
Missing act 4 scene 2
| | Not a normal Kindle formatted book. | 2021-01-30
The print is too small and when you try to enlarge it,the pages don't adjust.I'm going to have to trash it and find anotherversion.
| | Life Saver! Totally buy if your struggling. | 2021-01-25
Life Saver!!! Omg I don’t know how good I would have done without this book in my English 101!!! Great modern translation! Helped in my papers and quizzes.
| | Great guide!!!! | 2021-01-23
It has three parts to it 1)literature guide which includes context, plot overview and character analysis. 2) the play with line by line translation and analysis/prompts within it. 3) study guide which has thematic questions, in-depth answers about quotes and everything and so much more. This guide is great and its a good size and the price is so worth it as it is more affordable the standard copies. I really recommend for A-level students (like myself) and people who really want to understand
| | This book is in German!!! | 2021-01-06
How could that happen, shipped from UK and delivered in German??!!!
| | Worth every penny ! | 2021-01-05
My college English teacher recommended buying this because this was the book we were reading for class. Without buying this book I would have failed the unit. Highly recommend if you’re reading this book for a class.
| | It’s ok | 2021-01-03
Kind of small. Even the print but readable. I am a fan of the classics and this one fit the bill
| | Best format for studying Shakespeare | 2021-01-01
I have used the Oxford School Shakespeare version of the plays for Othello, Romeo and Juliet, and Macbeth, and they're definitely the best version out there for students and teachers.Included there's a contents page, a section in the beginning about the context and key aspects of the play, character list & descriptions, scene-by-scene synopsis and commentary, information about the original source, context of the Elizabethan/Jacobean England and Shakespeare himself, and at the back a
| | Very good condition | 2020-12-30
My son needed this for his A level studies - arrived in good time and in great condition, thank you!
| | For a class | 2020-12-10
I hate reading
| | Betrayal | 2020-12-06
I have never been into Shakespeare until I took up Greek Mythology in high school and through that learn of Shakespeare Macbeth been searching ever since and found one of them and I love it .
| | Schnelle Lieferung | 2020-11-30
Schnelle Lieferung zum Glück, dann konnte noch rechtzeitig in der Schule damit gearbeitet werden😉
| | CAN ONE CRITICISE SOMETHING WRITTEN BY SHAKESPEARE? | 2020-11-27
I will. I haven't read nearly as much Shakespeare as I should have by now - just Henry V, Richard III and A Midsummer Night's Dream. But coming to this, I was underwhelmed. The story-line is slight and the play unentertaining. Overall, it doesn't come close to equalling the superb Henry V.
| | Not worth the money | 2020-11-27
The acts are scattered throughout the book and are in the wrong order. Very disappointing.
| | Fell apart | 2020-11-02
Ordered this book for a class this summer (2020) but took class in the fall instead. Went to open my book and it is falling apart. I can’t open it all the way without the pages falling out.
| | A terrible version of a Masterpiece | 2020-10-04
This is a worthless rendering of Othello. Do yourself a favor and ignore this particular version.
| | best introduction; worst play | 2020-09-18
If you buy this, buy it for Dr. Thompson's introduction. At a little over a hundred pages, it is thorough, wide ranging, thoughtful, and highly relevant to the present. Basically, it's the best possible preparation for reading a play that is profoundly racist and misogynistic. Play gets 0/5 stars. Intro gets 5/5.The in-text annotations and longer end notes are really helpful, too.
| | Perfect! | 2020-09-11
Perfect! It came in perfect condition and three days earlier than expected! The translation makes it easy to understand and it is so helpful!
| | Missing chapter | 2020-09-01
Book is missing Act 3 Scene 2, now my child cannot do her school assignment.
| | good but somewhat ridiculous | 2020-08-18
I am not sure what I feel about Shakespeare, but I enjoyed this book. It was a little ridiculous at times, but it was also funny at times. Iago's plot was so frustrating, as was Othello and his insane jealousy. This play seemed to read quickly, but I liked it much more than I had expected.
| | Othello | 2020-06-13
Just what my daughter needed
| | I understand it even better as an adult | 2020-06-09
Reading and studying Shakespeare as a teenager was good...but rereading as an adult is even better. The anger and disdain I felt for Iago is so strong that it speaks to the quality of this classic literature. Prejudice... Jealousy.... And a manipulative wretch.... I guess some issues are timeless
| | Great book | 2020-05-28
Great book! wouldn't buy from allnewbooks next time I get a gift!
| | Awful | 2020-05-11
Do not buy if you don’t want it in German! Very misleading product description !
| | Purchased for class. | 2020-05-01
Purchased for class. I hated my professor but the play was interesting.
| | awesome novel & play | 2020-04-27
Beautiful play and it creates suspense when Othello kill his wife it was very sad,it is good play in Shakespeare wrote it.
| | Good book | 2020-04-23
Really helpful and useful when studying Othello A Level. Still in good condition.
| | Good resource | 2020-04-22
Very few, subtle translation changes.
| | Good | 2020-04-19
Perfect for school as I have enough space to write notes around the text and use some of the activities given. However, the book was larger than expected and heavy to carry around in school.
| | Good Value | 2020-04-07
Great condition.
| | Useful for English lit especially A levels. | 2020-03-23
Used this for a level English lit. Really useful translations from Shakespearean. Has quite the bit of context which is really useful. Only thing is that highlighting quotes is harder as it’s a thick bulky type of book unlike the regular Oxford School Shakespere version. But overall, great.
| | Meh | 2020-03-14
Quick delivery. Used for school reading. Not my cup of tea, but you read what you got to read.
| | good | 2020-03-02

| | Good priced book | 2020-02-25
Purchased as a present along with many others in the wordsworth collection. Very good price
| | Excellent edition of Othello | 2020-02-20
Othello is one of the greatest of Shakespeare's plays. Reading is no substitute for a live performance, but it certainly permits close study of the text. The Penguin edition has detailed notes and outstanding critical and performance analysis. The language of the playwright's maturity is magnificent.
| | For school, good condition! | 2020-02-07

Authenticity of Reviews

Trustami is an independent service provider for the display of external reviews. Trustami imports customer ratings from third-party platforms. Unfortunately, we cannot verify the authenticity of all the reviews that we collect automatically. Therefore, in case of imported ratings, Trustami cannot ensure that these ratings come exclusively from consumers who have actually used or purchased the goods or services.

What is Trustami

Trustami regularly scans the internet for new reviews and collect them in one place, in order to make them available to interested parties at a glance.

We want to make it as easy as possible for every internet user to look up products. Instead of relying on just one source, we provide a single point of contact to get easily all the reviews on a product.

Trustami does not generate new reviews and stays independent in order to make the internet more transparent. We automatically search on popular internet platforms and websites to find reviews and identify products. Our claim here is to provide a helpful set of product information that anyone can rely on. The aggregation of product data is done as good as possible and may include multiple versions of one product.

Trustami was created as a project of the Technical University of Berlin (TUB) with the aim of making the internet more trustworthy. Research in the field of "Social Media Analytics & Big Data" at the Chair of Information and Communication Management (IKM) provided a first prototype that enabled the collection of reputation data. With further development and funding Trustami became an independent spin-off.

Trustami rating scale

4.25 - 3.75 Good
3.75 - 2.75 Satisfactory
2.75 - 1.75 Sufficient
