The dual format saves hours in word-hunting and note-taking, allowing more time for intensified study of the language, building vocabulary and practicing conversation. The present volume also contains an informative essay on Spanish literature, a biographical-critical introduction to each story, notes on obscure references and idioms and a Spanish-to-English vocabulary.\u003cbr\u003eStudents of language and comparative literature will find the dual-language format convenient and helpful and the stories deeply satisfying; readers interested in Spanish literature will want to add this important and stimulating collection to their personal libraries.　\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Flores, Angel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 1987-08-01\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Fiction \/ Anthologies (multiple authors)|Fiction \/ Hispanic \u0026amp; Latino \/ General\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e Short stories|Short stories, Spanish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486253992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9780486253992\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52371818610969,"sku":"SP-9780486253992","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0380\/5209\/files\/9780486253992_spiral.png?v=1778436620","url":"https:\/\/westbindery.com\/products\/spanish-stories-cuentos-espanoles-a-dual-language-book-revised","provider":"West Bindery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
