{"product_id":"2940015973631","title":"La Princesse de Babylone - Princess of Babylon [French English Bilingual Edition] - Paragraph by Paragraph Translation","description":"Princess of Babylon - La Princesse de Babylone\u003cbr\u003eby Voltaire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn The Princess of Babylon, The king of Babylon, Belus, considered himself the first man upon earth, an assumption confirmed by the people surrounding him. This ego inflated king’s search for a good match for his only and exceptionally beautiful daughter Formosonta and the events that ensue take up most of this witty, acerbic tale. Behind a historic tale of love quest, Voltaire aims at political power centers, exposing their malfunctions and corruption, and at the pope and Christianity, exposing their nonsense rites and traditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout The Bilingual Edition\u003cbr\u003eProject Bilingual (A division of Wolf Pup Books) is a continuing project making available great original French writers' texts along with their English translation. This edition, which offers after every original language paragraph its translation, makes both grammar and vocabulary checks as painless as possible. Idiomatic forms that could be overlooked can be easily detected.\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, large paragraphs have been broken down to much smaller units so that the check is as effortless as possible. We do hope that by reading French writers that defined the language itself or whose work permeated the French culture, you will be able to get the maximum benefit from this language series. Although this edition is not a replacement for traditional methods of learning language, it is a very powerful tool to speed up the process once you have attained the intermediate level and beyond.\u003cbr\u003eWolf Pup Books\u003cbr\u003eA Bilingual Ebook Publishing Company","brand":"Wolf Pup Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47071077433584,"sku":"2940015973631","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015973631_p0.jpg?v=1763635701","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015973631","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
