2017 Reprint of 1903 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Esperanto was created in the late 19th Century by L. L. Zamenhof, a Polish-Jewish ophthalmologist from Bialystok, then part of the Russian Empire. According to Zamenhof, he created the language to reduce the time and labor required to learn a foreign language and to foster harmony between people from different countries. This revised edition of the Esperanto grammar was the first published for English readers - and benefited from the personal supervision and official approval of the founder, Dr. Zamenhof.

[Morgan Gariepy · Rating 4 out of 5]

As this was one of the very first books about Esperanto printed in English, this provided an interesting insight into the origins and intentions of Esperanto at the time it was developed.
