Imagine the joy and satisfaction you’ll experience reading a novel in your second language. It’s a challenge, yes, but what a victory to accomplish that for the first time, and again, and again . . .
NOVELAS EN ESPAÑOL puts everything at your fingertips and that means no more frustrating hours spent searching for definitions of words and explanations for references in the text. You can easily access vocabulary definitions for every page, plus clarification of references to history, culture, geography, music, art, politics–everything mentioned in the novel!
Each electronic package is composed of page-by-page resources to accompany the print book that you have purchased from your favorite bookseller.*
The selected books for NOVELAS EN ESPAÑOL are authentic, unabridged works by authors from across the Spanish speaking world. The language mastery level is from mid-intermediate to advanced and superior (indicated on the Description Page), and the average page count is 250.
Each Resource Package contains:
♦ Description Page with synopsis, ISBN, and link to the edition of the print novel that coordinates with the resource package.
♦ Complete section of Notes with vocabulary defined and all references explained. (Unlike when reading on an electronic device, NOVELAS EN ESPAÑOL resource packages give definitions to resolve ambiguities and translate idiomatic expressions, regionalisms, proverbs, slang, dialect, and figurative uses of words cleanly and accurately. This is something that electronic readers are not capable of doing.)
♦ Additional Resources that include clickable links to information about the author, the historical background and other relevant videos and articles, maps, songs, recipes, customs—everything mentioned in the book—that will deepen your understanding and appreciation of the novel in Spanish.
♦ Questions for Comprehension and Conversation that, chapter by chapter, ensure understanding and inspire insight and analysis.
