Publisher Description
Especially designed for the beginning student, this handy volume helps students learn Spanish by presenting simple, easy-to-read adaptations of classic Spanish stories and other material — with complete faithful English translations on the facing pages.
The selections, by significant writers of the past and present (Don Juan Manuel, Luis Taboada, Juan José Milla, Eufronio Viscarra, Ricardo Palma, Lope de Rueda, Enrique Amorim, Juan José Arreola, and other noted writers), derive from the best and most genuine Hispanic tradition, and are revealing of the life and psychology of the Spanish-speaking peoples.
The dual-language book will enable those readers with the most limited knowledge of the language to enjoy reading in the original Spanish from the very first day of instruction. Vocabularies and exercises are included as special aids for the student.

Formatting
I read this on an iPad in landscape mode, it’s the most similar to how it would be formatted in the printed version. In there, the left page would be in Spanish and right would be the English translation. But in here it is offset by one page, so the text on the right is in Spanish and the text on the left is not a translation of what you’re reading, but of the Spanish page prior. This is a very glaring oversight that I wouldn’t expect from a book I paid for. The formatting is very important in a book like this and makes it unnecessarily difficult to read.
