La Gitanilla - Adapted for intermediate students by Maria de la luz

Description: Great book in very good condition. There is a marking made with a marker on the top edge of the book otherwise the book looks brand new. Please see pictures for the exact condition. Clean pages with no rips, a little mark, no tears. Great Value!! Cervantes wrote his novellas at the ripe age of 66. The stories, which depict life realistically in early 17th century Spain, were the first novels written in Spanish without first having been translated from another language. La Gitanilla is a delightful novel of adventure and romance. The story tells the tale of Preciosa, a beautiful young gypsy, and don Juan de Carcamo, a nobleman who, to prove his love for her, lives the life of a gypsy under the name of Andes Caballero. This retelling of La Gintanilla has been specifically adapted and abridged for intermediate Spanish-language students. In this new edition each of the novel's short, manageable chapters is preceded by a prereading activity that will encourage students to use their prior knowledge and critical thinking skills to make their own connection to the novel. Each chapter is followed by a series of comprehension questions to ensure student understanding including a question section that is sure to promote lively classroom discussions. The novel it thoroughly annotated so students will not be stumped by obscure cultural references. The generous footglosses help define the more difficult terms that have been collected, along with other words, in the Spanish-Englihs Vocabularo at the back of the book. The proceeds from the sale of this book goes to Children's, Teen and Adult programs at Tomball Community Library located in Tomball, Texas. Thanks for supporting our Library Charity!!!
