books about: portuguese     books:       501 Portuguese Verbs51 reviews Barron's Educational Series, 1995 Worth its weight in gold This book has enough information packed into it, in a very organized way, to supply my needs for a lifetime. I give this book absolutely the strongest recommendation. IMO you will not regret buying this. For Portuguese I recommend: this book (501 Portuguese Verbs) for a reference, the Larousse Port.-English dictionary, and "Para a Frente" for a grammar. All these books are available on ...             Sonnets from the Portuguese13 reviews Public Domain Books, 1999 A wonderful work of art! How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. This magical collection of verse was written by the incomparable Elizabeth Barrett during her courtship with Robert Browning. It speaks of a love so deep and yearning to be expressed that it has been acclaimed by ...             Essential Portuguese Grammar (Dover Books on Language)34 reviews Alexander da R. Prista Dover Publications, 1966 Great guide on the basics This book is written in an easy to follow fashion that I found very helpful and informative. This book should however be considered a cliff-notes or abridged guide as it is light and compact (that was what I was looking for); by no means is an extensive guide on the Portugese langauge. Note: This book is mainly on Portugese as spoken in Portugal not Brazil.             25 Language Phrasebook: German, French, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese, Italian, Greek, Danish, Dutch, Swedish, ...10 reviews MobileReference, 2006 Only one cent! Excellent! At this price, such a bargain and worth alot more. How could anyone give this one star and say that it's "worthless"? The description clearly states what the book contains. I don't see anything that says that it teaches you a language. there is no reason for a bad rating.             Death with Interruptions41 reviews Jose Saramago Mariner Books, 2009 Perfect as always in the Saramago's case Excellent book. I think most of the 5 stars reviews tell everything about the book and I can't add anything else about the story. I just want to add something about Saramago's style. I'm Brazilian and, of course, I read it in Portuguese. Besides this book, I also read "The Gospel According to Jesus Christ", "Blindness" and "Seeing". Saramago has a very peculiar way of punctuation and this ...             The Alchemist - 10th Anniversary Edition1512 reviews HarperCollins e-books, 2005 The Book of Wisdom This book is full of wisdom; it is about dreaming and achieving. It is about appreciating what you have. It is about a treasure that you might have close by and not noticing it. You sometimes don't need to look a lot further to find what you are looking for. It is a book that is full of therapy without the need for Prozac, I am sure that I will go back to this book when I feel down. Follow your ...             Silence68 reviews Shusaku Endo Taplinger Publishing Company, 1980 "Hello this is God, I'm not in right now..." It is a testament to Endo's devastating, yet spare prose that the most complex argument against Christianity is boiled down to a simple realization: the silence of God. At the beginning of Silence, a Portuguese priest, Father Sebastian Rodrigues, travels to Japan at the height of Christian persecution in the 17th Century. He knows that Christians are being tortured and put to death by the ...             The Hunter's Blades Trilogy Gift Set7 reviews R.A. Salvatore Wizards of the Coast, 2007 Excellent Fantasy Series If you enjoyed Lord of the Rings, and wish you could find another series that captures the scope and grandeur of Tolkiens original, this may be the series for you. I have read more series of fantasy novels than I care to admit to over the past 25 years, and this series is hands down one of the best out there. It is set in a similar world to LOTR with humans, elves, dwarfs, halflings (hobbits), ...             Blindness (Harvest Book)412 reviews Jose Saramago Harvest Books, 1999 The Beauty in Blindness: A Story of Human Struggle If you took away everything--your career, your possessions, your loved ones, and even your sense of being in the world--what is left? The answer is chaos. Stripped to the bare bones of life, the characters in this book prove to you what it means to be human. What a beautiful, masterful book. No wonder Saramago has been so highly praised; he more than deserves it. As a side note, if possible, ...             The Everything Learning Brazilian Portuguese Book9 reviews Adams Media, 2008 I love this book! This book has very concise ways of teaching Portuguese to English speakers! Muinto obrigado!!!!!             Aproximaciones al estudio de la literatura hispanica, sexta edicion (Spanish Edition)14 reviews Carmelo Virgillo, Edward Friedman, ... McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2007 Great Overall great service. Arrived earlier than expected and in great condition. Even some helpful annotations.             The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis31 reviews Jose Saramago Mariner Books, 1992 A supplement to the previous review The previous reviewer suggested that the "ghost" character Pessoa may have been based on an actual person. It's true. Fernando Pessoa was an outstanding Portuguese poet. What's interesting here is that Pessoa wrote under several pen-names, and in some cases he would write praise or criticism in one pan-name of his own writing done in another pen-name. These pen-names were characters in and of ...             Portuguese Irregular Verbs57 reviews Anchor, 2007 Laugh-out-loud funny Rarely do books make me laugh out loud but these satiric tales of a German philologist and his misadventures had me rolling on the floor. The fact that I'm an academic trained as a philologist certainly adds to my pleasure, and clearly AMS knows the academic world well enough to create a hilarious sendup of the egotism and bombast stomping through the hallowed halls. I must admit that almost ...             Brazilian Portuguese: Lonely Planet Phrasebook21 reviews Marcia Monje De Castro, Lonely Planet Phrasebooks Lonely Planet, 2008 Helpful resource This handy book was very helpful in dealing with language situations while traveling in Brazil. I added to tabs to the pages so that I could easier find certain sections--like what to say when meeting people, numbers, things like that.             The New Portuguese Table: Exciting Flavors from Europe's Western Coast19 reviews David Leite Clarkson Potter, 2009 Wonderful Enjoying this cookbook since I am Portuguese and was brought up not far from Fall River, New Bedford Ma. I can relate to everything he says about our Portuguese community Eileen             Iberia28 reviews James A. Michener Fawcett Crest Books by Ballantine Books, 1969 MARVELOUS IBERIA is non-fiction memoir of Michener's experiences in Spain. I read the book before I went to Spain and found that Michener was right. He said Spain haunts people who go there. I've been all over the world and Spain is the only place that haunts me in a delicious way. Spain likely was the heart and soul of Imperial Rome. IBERIA is a splendid tale about a splendid place.             The Notebook3 reviews Jose Saramago Verso, 2010 Absolutely Wonderful Absolutely wonderful. Commentaries on world matters, George Bush, the economic crisis, religion, and much, much more by one of the greatest living writers. Erudite, literary, compassionate, provocative. Compare these with the commentary currently available...well, there is no comparison. If you love his novels, you will find the Notebook as compelling. If you have not read his novels perhaps The ...             Baxter (The Puppy Place)2 reviews Ellen Miles Scholastic Paperbacks, 2010 the puppy place special this book is a great book!!!

I had about two months to study Portuguese, and I am really surprised at how comfortable I was with the language! I was easily in the top half of the group for how well I could speak Portuguese, and probably more in the top quarter (though many ...             Cain (Spanish Edition)1 review Jose Saramago Alfaguara, 2009 nice Jose Saramago's new novel is out now.
