Dual language books are great. Saves carrying a dictionary for those tricky words. also none linguists can enjoy poetry from other countries too.

Enjoy Learning
2 May 2001
Format:Paperback
I bought the book in order to use it to help me learn Spanish better. I teach adult immigrants, most of whom are Spanish speaking, to speak English. I recently decided that this book could be used to help the adult students learn English as well. The book has two very enjoyable applications: 1. I learn Spanish better. 2. The adult students learn English better and we are all learning while we are having great fun. Lope de Vega's "Various Effects of Love" keeps us all laughing. The truth that he speaks is the truth that we have all experienced. Read it. Enjoy it.

A great (and cheap!) little book
11 Nov 2003
Format:Paperback
I bought mine a few years ago during my first inklings of interest in Spanish poetry. I'm glad I did. Key poets are represented by a short biography (in English) and one or two poems in Spanish with English literal prose on the facing page. Simple! Perfect!
The book goes from El Cid to early modern poets like Alexiandre, Alberti and Cernuda. I gather it is a shorter version of a longer book by Florit, but there is no reason not to get this one. This will get you started and help you decide which poets are worth investigating. A wonderful little book!

Perfect!

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have an extremely high standard for books, no matter the genre. I happen to enjoy reading and writing poetry, and learning language (I am learning conversational Spanish currently)so I decided to buy this one, especially knowing it was from Dover, which I have always believed to have reprinted and published only good books.
I adored this book ever since I read the first poem in here, Cantar de Mio Cid. it really builds on your vocabulary, and helps you grasp the meaning on the words as actual "poetry" and not just as some words in a technical writing.
Among my favorites are: A una estrella (To a star) by Jose de Espronceda, Libro de buen amor (Book of good love) by Juan Ruiz, Castilla (Castile) by Miguel de Unamuno, and Muertes (Deaths) by Pedro Salinas.
This book is not only wonderful for an intermediate beginner like me, but also to advanced learners/speakers to learn both Spanish and English.
A brilliant collection of poetry. This book is a must buy for anybody interested in the Spanish language.
