"Life was harsh in the town of Bialystok, particularly for a Jewish boy like Leyzer Zamenhof. But Leyzer thought he knew the reason for the anger and distrust. With every group speaking a different language, how could people understand each other? Without understanding, how could there be peace? Zamenhof had an idea: a "universal" second language everyone could speak. But a language that would be easy to learn was not easy to invent, especially when even his own father stood between him and his dream. Yet when at last in 1887 "Doctor Esperanto" sent his words into the world, a boy's idea became a community that spread across the globe."--Book jacket.… (mer)

I really enjoyed this biography. I think it did a good job of teaching both about the language (I loved all the examples of Esperanto words and phrases that were included) and about Leyzer Zamenhof's life. ( )

Doctor Esperanto and the Language of Hope is a picture book, seemingly designed to engage a younger audience in discussing linguistics, language, and tolerance. While I think the book itself is long, the topic and information quite dense, and the pages word-heavy for younger audiences, I do think this book can teach a reader a lot about the language of Esperanto. The story itself is engaging, and the illustrations aid in the story-telling. For someone who has an openness to learning about languages and how they connect us, this is a great read. I would recommend it for precocious children 10 and up, as well as adults who have an interest in linguistics. ( )

This book warms my linguistic heart! It is the story of Leyzer Zamenhof (Doctor Esperanto) and how creating his language was his life work. His reason for creating the language was to bring people together in mutual understanding.

This is a great biography about Zamenhof and is beautifully written and illustrated. I recommend this for any classroom. ( )

This was published by Candlewick so of course its a quality book (they sent an advanced reader to me for a review, they didn't know i would have probably bought it anyway).

Esperanto was designed/created to reverse Babel. A nineteenth century man grew up in a multi-ethnic town and heard/saw the negativeness by people not speaking a common language, he created one. The world soon adopted it and we all lived happily after.

No, but some people did believe in it and still do and still speak it. In the end notes we find out that Hitler thought it was a Jewish plot to rule the world (ever wonder what would happen if Jews actually ruled the world? 400 years of goyim and we aren't doing too good a job.)

The art and writing are pleasant and the book has a terrific bibliography. ( )
