Synopsis

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" coupled with 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 this title

About the Author

Lewis Carroll was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, an English writer, mathematician, Anglican deacon, and photographer. Best known for his classics Alice s Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and Jabberwocky, Carroll was also an accomplished inventor who created an early version of what is today known as Scrabble. The publication of Alice s Adventures in Wonderland in 1865 brought Carroll a certain level of fame, although he continued to supplement his income through his work as a mathematics tutor at Christ Church, Oxford College. Carroll s whimsical characters and nonsensical verse resonated with Victorian-era readers, and his books continue to be enjoyed by numerous modern societies dedicated to his promoting his works.
