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, Alarc, Unamuno, and Dari;o, and such works as El busc, 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.

Reviews for Second Spanish Reader: A Dual Language Book
A strange green goblin arrives in a little boy's garden in this funny and possibly slightly frightening story in which all Doyle's text is in speech balloons. The boy questions the goblin ('Why have you got such spidery legs?' 'Why have you got such a big fat bum?') and receives some strange answers, sometimes the simple statement 'Hungry! Hungry! Hungry!'. Hess's wonderfully original and distinctive illustrations have great fun with perspective as boy and goblin tear around the house before coming to an understanding. (Kirkus UK)
