Esperanto
Esperanto, spoken by thousands of people across the world, is the most successful international language project. In this book, the French linguist and literary critic Pierre Janton describes the history of Esperanto since its invention in nineteenth-century Eastern Europe and offers a comprehensive linguistic description of the language. This book is the best general introduction to Esperanto and its role in the modern world. Rooted in the populism and internationalism of the late nineteenth century, Esperanto owes its origins in part to western European educational currents and in part to the cultural history of eastern European Jewry. It is a fascinating historical and sociological phenomenon as well as a remarkable linguistic system. The book contains a survey of today's movement for the promotion of Esperanto as an international language, and a description of the extensive literature in Esperanto, both original and translated. Janton also provides a survey of the other global language projects, explaining why Esperanto has prevailed.

Esperanto in The New York Times (1887 - 1922)
This book is a look back at the beginnings of the Es-pe-ranto move-ment in the US and beyond, opening a window into contemporaneous accounts on the pages of a world-renowned news-paper. -- Some of the articles in this collection reflect aspects of the his-tory of the Esperanto movement quite vividly; in others, we find odd anecdotes about Esperanto and the Esperantists; and many passionately-written letters from readers illustrate the ups and downs, the successes and conflicts of the Esperanto community, as well as its disputes with the skeptics outside their ranks. -- These first 35 years of the history of Esperanto seen from the vantage point of the New York Times show how Esperanto gradually became established in the US and in the world, carried on the high hopes of its early, idealistic proponents. -- The book is supplemented by an appendix containing an index of the names of persons mentioned in the newspaper articles, a short bibliography, and a collection of links to reliable information on Esperanto on the Internet.

Aspects of Internationalism
This book consists of a collection of papers that focus on Esperanto as either a tool or a domain of academic activity. Esperanto is a well-established and significant linguistic and cultural phenomenon involving well over a million inhabitants of the globe. By argument and example, this collection implicitly raises the question whether the humanities and social sciences can continue to ignore this phenomenon without disavowing their role as human sciences.

The Standard Course of Esperanto
Excerpt from The Standard Course of Esperanto: Being the "Popular Educator" Lessons, Based on Dr. Zamenhof's "Ekzercaro" With Notes AdditionsThe favourable reception accorded by students and teachers to these lessons, which originally appeared in the popular educator, has led to their publica tion, with numerous additions, in a more convenient form. Founded, as they are, on Dr. Zamenhof's ekzercaro, it may not be presumptuous to call them the standard course OF esperanto, as by gene'ial consent these Exercises are acknowledged to be an indispensable preliminary to the study of the language. Indeed, after working through them according to the plan prescribed on page 7, the student will have l...
