English as She is Spoke
The New Guide of the Conversation in Portuguese and English
Pedro Carolino
This book explores the hilarious consequences that ensue when someone who doesn't speak English tries to write a Portuguese-English phrasebook. The result is a totally absurd and nonsensical masterpiece that Mark Twain himself declared perfect. Readers will be amused and entertained by the familiar phrases that include unintentionally sexual sayings and oddly vivid descriptions. This book became a viral sensation in London literary circles and continues to tickle readers' funny bones to this day.
