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

As opposed to memorizing Russian phrases or forcing yourself to get
through another dry Russian grammar or verb manual, this Dual
Language Reader ("DLR") uses short stories so that you're eager and
excited to turn each page In addition, short stories in DLR format
serve as an excellent tool to aid you in developing the ability to
"think" in Russian. In this book you will find a magnificent
collection of the Russia's greatest short stories, written by the
most notable Russian authors: Anton Chekhov ( ), Alexander Pushkin
( ), Fyodor Dostoyevsky ( ), and Nikolai Gogol ( ). This
compilation features Pushkin's masterpiece "The Queen of Spades."
Other stories include: Gogol's incredibly disturbed... and
disturbingly humorous: "The Diary of a Madman"; Dostoyevsky's "The
Thief" (also known as: "The Honest Thief"); as well as Anton
Chekhov's famous short story of "Slander" and the eerie tale of
"The Witch." Language Formatting: English & Russian Russian
(Cyrillic): Each stories' language of origin. English: Accurate
Translations by some of the world's most renowned
Russian-to-English translators, including Constance Garnett, Lizzie
Gorin, E.L. Boole, and more Using this Dual Language Reader: The
key to mastering any foreign language is developing the ability to
"Think" in that language. With the Russian (Cyrillic) text on the
right and the English Translation on the left, you're able to
comprehend the ideas being conveyed without turning a page Oh...
and for students who wish to test their ability to read the Russian
(Cyrillic) text, you can fold the left page back and easily hold
the book to read entire stories (or the entire book) in Russian; If
(or when...) you have difficulty understanding exactly what the
Russian author is trying to say, you can quickly look at the
provided translation to make the concepts clear, to get yourself
back on track. Another useful technique (for beginners, especially)
is to read the English translation first and, once the concepts are
clear, then move on to reading and comprehending the Russian
(Cyrillic) text. Your goal, other than enjoying the process of
learning, is (again): to develop the ability to "think" in the new
language.

Unhappy with the policy of using English as the medium of
instruction in secondary schools in Tanzania which left his
students bewildered, a Norwegian volunteer teacher in Ipinda,
Tukuyu, south western region of Tanzania decided that his students
would probably cope with the foreign language only after they were
grounded first in the structure of their own languages - Nyakyusa
and Swahili. As a trilingual dictionary was not available, he set
out to compile one and this well producced dictionary is the
product. Words, examples and usages are included.
