King's Explanations

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

König's explanations by C. Bange Verlag are interpretation and reading aids for pupils, teachers and other people interested in literature. The series founded by Wilhelm König deals in more than 200 volumes with important school readings from ancient to classical to contemporary works.

history

The series of King's Explanations (originally Dr. Wilhelm King's Explanations of the Classics ) has existed since 1897. In that year, the first volume of the interpretation aids to Friedrich von Schiller's Wilhelm Tell was published . The then publisher Hermann Beyer bought the rights to the four-volume series Dr. Wilhelm König's explanations of the classics and was the only publisher at that time who published reading aids . The series stayed with Beyer in Leipzig until 1943. The explanations soon became one of the most popular works among the interpretive aids. By 1933 the series had a volume of approx. 240 volumes.

In 1976, the Bange-Verlag made contemporary changes and updates to the interpretation aids. They have also been renamed König's Notes and Materials . From 2000 the content of the explanations was completely revised and the layout was redesigned. They currently comprise more than 150 volumes and represent the most extensive collection of interpretation aids in the German language.

Conception

König's explanations are aimed primarily at students and teachers. They are intended to help improve reading comprehension, provide orientation and save time when preparing for lessons, and enable varied lessons. Your authors are Germanists and teachers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The explanations are regularly revised, expanded and adapted to current school requirements. They contain schematic representations and information in text boxes in the margins. The cover of the little booklet is designed in blue and yellow and usually shows a picture of the author of the work in question. König's explanations are roughly divided into five areas: life and work of the writer, text analysis and interpretation, topics and tasks, reception history and materials.
