About this book

Tom Canty, a poor child living in misery, accidentally meets Prince Edward, who looks strikingly like him. For fun, they exchange roles but become trapped in lives that are not their own. Tom discovers the constraints of power, while Edward faces the harshness of the streets. Each must adapt to survive and understand the other’s reality. The author presents an accessible social critique, exploring inequality and the illusions tied to social status.

The benefits of the bilingual method with Line-by-line synced layout

Every line of the original has its translation directly beneath it, at the same height. You never lose your place: your eye drops one line and lands on exactly the sentence it just read. This is the layout that lets you open a book in a language you barely know without ever giving up, and compare the two texts almost word for word.

The excerpt shows the method using another book from the catalogue, not this one.
