Doctor Esperanto and the Language of Hope
Rockliff, Mara / Dzierzawska, Zosia
Rockliff uses her unique knack for forgotten history to tell the story of a young multiethnic man growing up surrounded by such languages as Russian, Yiddish, German, and Polish in late 19th-century Poland who set out to create a new language, one that would be easy to learn and could connect people around the world.
