About the Book
Read Agatha Christie's The Secret of Chimneys in the original English, with every sentence immediately followed by its Portuguese translation. Each English sentence is numbered word-by-word, with a mini vocabulary list right there on the page — English word, Portuguese 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 Portuguese translation is faithful and word-for-word, staying close enough to the English that the numbered vocabulary maps clearly between both languages. Portuguese and English share a large body of Latin-derived vocabulary, and the vocabulary list captures these cognates immediately. Where Portuguese diverges — its verb conjugation system, grammatical gender, and object pronouns that can attach to the verb itself — the inline tagging shows exactly how each English word maps into its Portuguese form.
This is the complete, unabridged text of The Secret of Chimneys — all 31 chapters. The front of the book includes a Portuguese cheat sheet covering pronunciation, basic grammar, function words, and mystery and intrigue vocabulary — everything a first-time reader needs to start Chapter 1.
