## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    ¡Vale la pena leer!
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2017*

Currently, I am an overall beginner (advanced beginner perhaps) in Spanish with intermediate reading skills.  I would argue that the book is quite good for an intermediate reader, specifically because the translation is good and ideally placed thanks to the dual language format.  It is a solid book to read intensively as I find it exposes a good snapshot of the richness and variety of the language. I was always taught to seek material one level of abstraction beyond what I expect to need daily and that is precisely what excellent literature like this offers.  I would have been quite disappointed had I opened the text and found a dumbed-down version of Spanish literature with contrived content.  The author's selection packs substantial learning opportunity per page read, offering a very good combination of interesting and efficient. I'd dare almost anyone to read this at intermediate and write an honest review saying that they didn't learn quite a bit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good books but certainly not for beginners or even intermediate learners
  

*by P***K on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2010*

This book is definitely a great resource as it contains 50 excerpts from Spanish literature spanning 500 years along with their corresponding English translations, but to echo what others have said it certainly is not as described on the back cover as "geared towards beginners".  I am at a fairly advanced level in Spanish and I had difficulty reading the early works in particular.For the majority of these earlier works, the difficulty of the content would be comparable to Shakespeare or Chaucer in English, definitely not for a beginner or even an intermediate learner.  It certainly would be a good supplement to an advanced level literature class or simply to challenge yourself if you are fairly fluent, but if you are still building vocabulary or getting the grammar down you should wait until you are at a more advanced level before purchasing.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Exact translation makes the English difficult to read.
  

*by T***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2018*

Exact literal translations of foreign languages often result in tortured English phrases that make it difficult to follow the story.  Stanley Appelbaum is my LEAST favourite dual language editor.
