The TRILINGUAL RUSSIAN-ENGLISH-SPANISH Book is based on the brilliant story of one of the best classical masters of the world short story Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. Chekhov's stories are timeless and excite us today as they excited readers more than 100 years ago. This book is a wonderful tool to read the Russian classic comparing the three languages and testing our abilities and memory a little bit beyond the regular range of traditional language study. Russian, English, and Spanish belong to three different linguistic groups: Slavic, Germanic, and Romance. The fascinating comparative trilingual grammar summary is enclosed by the author to the trilingual text. The text is formatted in paragraphs - each page has the three paragraphs of the same text in the three languages. This formatting should be convenient in the electronic version too, as it will run on a Kindle screen page after page. Are you a student, a business person, a homemaker or a teacher of languages - you will benefit from this original cross-cultural trilingual presentation of an outstanding literary masterpiece. Zoia Sproesser has a Master's Degree in Education. She has lived in the USA for 16 years. She has devoted to Spanish nine years of studies, continuing mastering the beautiful language of Cervantes. She teaches English and Russian, and has been in writing and publishing for the last 16 years.
From the author of the bilingual collection of poems, Soundless Guitars, Adulterous Dreams, here's a collection of unpretentious, pleasing thoughts, authored by ordinary speakers of our collective wisdom. But now enhanced and presented in English, Spanish, and French. Some are identical to our innermost trivial musings, and some are more challenging, perhaps controversial, and we don't want to miss the opportunity to enjoy or refute them. Yes, it does boil down to opening one's mind in order to identify with what's beyond the words. But then, if opening our mind is a condition to read and enjoy quotations, be they authored by the famous or by the nameless, "then why must we close our mind again if for no reason?" Indeed, the answers to this and to similar questions lie within you. "It takes more than looking to see; more than seeing to understand; more than understanding... to uphold the truth." Regardless of how this idea may resonate in your first language, pondering on it in any second or third YES-SI-OUI language adds to the enjoyment that we all expect from a good book. So take out a minute and do your mind a favor Read them in the language of your choice; brush up on what you have learned, or meet your favorite new language halfway. Bonne Chance
