Churvaness! Classics in Esperanto — The Complete Bilingual Collection

Read Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in the original English, with every sentence immediately followed by its Esperanto translation. Each English sentence is numbered word-by-word, with a mini vocabulary list right there on the page — English word, Esperanto translation, and a short English gloss — so you never need to put the book down to look something up. No flipping to a glossary in the back. No guessing which word means what. Just read.

The Esperanto translation is faithful and word-for-word, staying close enough to the English that the numbered vocabulary maps clearly between both languages. Esperanto is completely regular: every letter has one sound, every verb conjugates the same way, and there are zero irregular verbs or silent letters. Esperanto's agglutinative morphology means you will often see compound words built from separate roots, and the superscript numbers mark each meaningful root separately — the vocabulary list always shows the dictionary form of each root.
