Geared toward advanced beginners, this dual-language volume offers
the convenient, accessible format of English translations on pages
facing the matching Spanish text. It introduces such authors as
Lope de Vega, Cervantes, Alarcon, Unamuno, and Dario, and such
works as "El buscon, Cartas marruecas, El estudiante de Salamanca,
"and" Santa." Contents include plays, lyric and narrative verse,
and prose of many kinds -- fiction, philosophy, autobiography, and
more -- for a generous sampling of the Spanish language's
extraordinarily diverse and rich literary history.
The selections begin at around 1550, at the outset of the 100 years
known as the Golden Age. Excerpts from the era's major genres and
authors include the works of three prominent playwrights, plus
pastoral and picaresque novels, religious meditations, and a report
from the New World. Three outstanding exponents of the
Enlightenment appear here, in addition to contributions from the
major Romantic playwrights and poets, several Realist and
Naturalist novelists, and the pillars of the Generation of 1898.
One-third of the selections are the works of Spanish-American
writers. Accurate and up to date, this new translation by Stanley
Appelbaum features a detailed Introduction with background on all
of the writers and their works.
This is the fourth in the LinguaBooks series of Short Stories for
Adult Learners and contains five original short stories with
accompanying explanations, exercises and extension tasks. The focus
throughout is on authenticity and originality. The language of the
stories has not been simplified for easy reading; rather, emergent
difficulties are explained in the notes with further activities
provided for deeper understanding, extension and autonomous
learning. The stories themselves present a varied mix of style and
content, ranging from the surprising to the contemplative, with a
touch of humour and an occasional hint of pathos. The language used
may be considered equivalent to Level C1 of the Common European
Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Each book in this
series is suitable for both classroom use and reading for pleasure.
