This Description refers to the Paperback edition:

As opposed to memorizing Italian phrases or forcing yourself to get through another dry Italian grammar or verb manual, this Dual Language Reader (“DLR”) keeps you eager and excited to turn each page! Short stories in DLR format serve as an excellent tool to aid you in developing the ability to “think” in Italian.

This compilation features Carroll’s classic masterpiece: “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” adapted from the superb Italian translation by Teodorico Pietrocòla-Rossetti.

The key to mastering any foreign language is developing the ability to “Think” in that language. With the English text on the left (even pages) and the Italian translation on the right (odd pages), you’re able to comprehend, precisely, the ideas being conveyed without turning a page! For those students who wish to test their ability to read the Italian text, simply fold the left page back to easily hold & read each page (or the entire book) in Italian; if you have difficulty understanding exactly what the Italian text is trying to convey, you can quickly look at the English text to help make the concepts clear and get yourself back on track.

Another useful technique (for beginners, especially) is to read the English translation first and then, once the concepts are clear, move on to reading and comprehending the Italian text. Your goal, other than enjoying the process of learning, is (again): to develop the ability to “think” in the new language. A Dual Language Reader is an excellent tool for helping you to do exactly that!

About the Author

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll, was a man of diverse interests -- in mathematics, logic, photgraphy, art, theater, religion, medicine, and science. He was happiest in the company of children for whom he created puzzles, clever games, and charming letters.

As all Carroll admirers know, his book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865), became an immediate success and has since been translated into more than eighty languages. The equally popular sequel Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, was published in 1872.

The Alice books are but one example of his wide ranging authorship. The Hunting of the Snark, a classic nonsense epic (1876) and Euclid and His Modern Rivals, a rare example of humorous work concerning mathematics, still entice and intrigue today's students. Sylvie and Bruno, published toward the end of his life contains startling ideas including an 1889 description of weightlessness.

The humor, sparkling wit and genius of this Victorian Englishman have lasted for more than a century. His books are among the most quoted works in the English language, and his influence (with that of his illustrator, Sir John Tenniel) can be seen everywhere, from the world of advertising to that of atomic physics.
