Publisher's Synopsis
This charming phrasebook offers a delightful glimpse into the linguistic and cultural idiosyncrasies of nineteenth-century Portugal and England. Compiled by two language enthusiasts, José da Fonseca and Pedro Carolino, it presents a variety of everyday scenarios, from greeting strangers to finding one's way in a foreign city, in both Portuguese and English, rendered in a highly idiosyncratic and often unintentionally hilarious fashion. With its whimsical illustrations, tongue-in-cheek translations, and irreverent sense of humor, this book will entertain and enlighten readers of all levels of proficiency in both languages.
