Love-Letters between a Nobleman and His Sister : Webster's Spanish Thesaurus Edition

Overview

This edition is written in English. However, there is a running Spanish thesaurus at the bottom of each page for the more difficult English words highlighted in the text. There are many editions of Love-Letters between a Nobleman and His Sister. This edition would be useful if you would like to enrich your Spanish-English vocabulary, whether for self-improvement or for preparation in advanced of college examinations. Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of difficult and potentially ambiguous English words. Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority compared to "difficult, yet commonly used" English words. Rather than supply a single translation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in Spanish, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of English without using the notes as a pure translation crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. This edition is helpful to Spanish-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL� or TOEIC� preparation program. Students who are actively building their vocabularies in Spanish or English may also find this useful for Advanced Placement� (AP�) tests. TOEFL�, TOEIC�, AP� and Advanced Placement� are trademarks of the Educational Testing Service which has neither reviewed nor endorsed this book. This book is one of a series of Webster's paperbacks that allows the reader to obtain more value from the experience of reading. Translations are from Webster's Online Dictionary, derived from a meta-analysis of public sources, cited on the site.

Bio of Aphra Behn

Author, playwright, and poet. Behn was the first Englishwoman who earned her living by writing. There is much controversy about her background, but she is known to have traveled with a Surinam couple. She married a Dutch merchant Mr. Behn in 1664 who is said to have died a year after their marriage. Soon after her husbands death, Behn started working as a spy for Charles II but was sent to debtor's prison for debts she incurred in the service. She wrote her first play The Forced Marriage in 1670, succeeded by a series of other plays and novels. Her other works include: Covent Garden Drollery (1672), Sir Patient Fancy (1678), The Feigned Courtesans (1679), The Lover's Watch (1686), and The Emperor of the Moon (1687).
