"Tim Owen, one of the premier scholars and writers in the world of Esperanto, has crafted a new, second volume for advanced learners that is unique in both its content and approach.
Making use of his vast personal knowledge of the language, its history, culture, and literature, and in consultation with international scholars of Esperanto, he has written a text for a new generation that is truly without equal.
This textbook should reward the learner with a high level of competence in the language, and an in-depth knowledge of the community of Esperanto speakers.
This book presents modern Esperanto as it is used and spoken around the world. I am personally delighted to see it available."
