Concise Encyclopedia of the Original Literature of Esperanto

Geoffrey H. Sutton

Mondial, 2008

A Truly International Body of Literature
Detractors of Esperanto (who usually know little or nothing of the language) are often heard asserting that it has no culture, no literature and no community. This remarkable encyclopedia gives the lie to such a view. It abundantly demonstrates the richness, variety, ...

The first mystery novel in the history of the Esperanto movement, first published in 1920. --- La unua krimromano en la historio de la originala Esperanto-literaturo, unue publikigita en 1920, kaj nun lingve iomete prilaborita por nia eldono de 2008. Fascina historio pri murdo kaj amo...

Esperanto (Teach Yourself) (Revised: 3rd Edition)

John Cresswell, John Hartley

NTC Publishing Group, 1992

Mi amas Esperanto!
Two years ago, while in high school, I formed an Independent Study class with a couple other students to learn Esperanto. It's a relatively esoteric subject for most people, so we were worried we would be unable to find an effective text book. We ultimately decided ...

Step By Step in Esperanto

Montagu C. Butler

Esperanto League for North Amer, 1991

This is a good textbook for learning Esperanto.
This textbook has stood the test of time. It has seen multiple publishers and has stood up well. Although it is one of the older textbooks for English speakers learning Esperanto, it does not convey a dated feel. It is broken into over a thousand small, easily ...

Concise Esperanto and English Dictionary: Esperanto-English/English-Esperanto (Teach Yourself)

J. C. Wells

NTC/Contemporary Publishing Company, 1992

A wonderful title for beginners and experts alike
This dictionary is one of the most helpful guides to any language that I have ever read. The Advice to the Student of Esperanto section was very helpful as were the lists of correlatives, prefixes, and suffixes; I often find myself referring to them. Overall, this ...

A Complete Grammar of Esperanto

Ivy Kellerman

BiblioBazaar, 2006

Important learning tool
For the student who wants more than a simplified conversational approach to Esoeranto or who is mostly interested in reading the language this is a good choice. The grammar is fairly thoroughly explained in a teaching )not reference) format. Each grammatical section is ...

English-Esperanto Dictionary (Dodo Press)

Charles Frederic Hayes, John Charles O'Connor

Dodo Press, 2007

public domain material
This is a reprint of ancient material with expired copyright that you can obtain freely on the web. Perhaps it is interesting historically but it is not up to date and was not a masterpiece of lexicography. If you need an Esperanto dictionary I would suggest Benson's ...

Robinsono Kruso (Koncizigita romanversio en Esperanto)

Daniel Defoe

Mondial, 2000

Exciting document from the early years of the Esperanto
This translation into Esperanto is based upon the abridged version of Robinson Crusoe from 1908 (Altemus Young People's Library Edition). It contains several beautiful illustrations from the edition of 1908. Translated by A. Krafft (1908), with corrections by Ulrich ...

Being Colloquial in Esperanto: A Reference Guide

David K. Jordan

Esperanto League for North Amer, 1999

A *very* useful book!
There are some fine introductory books in Esperanto (and you can get a pretty good start from the free 10-lesson email course easily found with any internet search engine); this book is probably not the best FIRST textbook (though I think it could be used as a first ...

In the Land of Invented Languages: Esperanto Rock Stars, Klingon Poets, Loglan Lovers, and the Mad Dreamers ...
Arika Okrent

Spiegel & Grau, 2009

Just about everyone has heard of Esperanto, which was nothing less than one man?s attempt to bring about world peace by means of linguistic solidarity. And every Star Trek fan knows about Klingon, which was nothing more than a television show?s attempt to create a tough-sounding language befitting a warrior race with ridged foreheads. But few ...

The American Esperanto Book - A Compendium Of The International Language

Arthur Baker

Meyer Press, 2008

Good Intro to Zamenhof's Exercises
This book is a fairly concise grammar book (in a bit technical language), coupled with a set of lessons based on Zamenhof's original exercises. It provides a sufficient vocabulary for each lesson with an English translation and most importantly notes on the usage in ...

Esperanto Learning and Using the International Language

David Richardson

Esperanto League for North Amer, 2004

The Best First Book to the Language & the Movement!
I'd normally not want to simply add another "Oh this is a great book" to the list of reviews that is already here, but honestly Richardson deserves the praise. While the book largely tries to be three things at once it is successful to a good degree. The first part of ...

The Esperanto Teacher: A Simple Course for Non-Grammarians

Helen Fryer

BiblioBazaar, 2007

Old but great introduction
The title says it all.This is a fairly simple introduction to Esperanto with a mminimum of grammatical jargon. The grammar and usage of the language are well covered but slowly and in a less formidable technical format. There are lots of great exercises and reading ...
