John WellsEmeritus Professor of Phonetics, University College London "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.
