WRITTEN ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WANTING TO IMPROVE THEIR CREOLE.

 

A beautiful story of hope and human solidarity in elementary Creole with a vocabulary of only 950 words.  Written by Jacques Romain in 1945.  It is one of the few works of Haitian literature that has achieved international recognition. 

 

WRITTEN IN CREOLE  with English vocabulary inserts throughout the book.

 

The text is followed by a selection of Haitian proverbs; a series of jokes from the famous Haitian folklore characters, of Bouki and Ti Malis and the Haitians‘ favorite the Kont or Riddle. An illustrated dictionary of 210 terms useful in everyday life.  And fittingly closes with a translation of the Sermon on the Mount and the Lord‘s Prayer.
