This book is a look back at the beginnings of the Es pe ranto move
ment in the US and beyond, opening a window into contemporaneous
accounts on the pages of a world-renowned news paper. -- Some of
the articles in this collection reflect aspects of the his tory of
the Esperanto movement quite vividly; in others, we find odd
anecdotes about Esperanto and the Esperantists; and many
passionately-written letters from readers illustrate the ups and
downs, the successes and conflicts of the Esperanto community, as
well as its disputes with the skeptics outside their ranks. --
These first 35 years of the history of Esperanto seen from the
vantage point of the New York Times show how Esperanto gradually
became established in the US and in the world, carried on the high
hopes of its early, idealistic proponents. -- The book is
supplemented by an appendix containing an index of the names of
persons mentioned in the newspaper articles, a short bibliography,
and a collection of links to reliable information on Esperanto on
the Internet.
