Condition: Good. Jacket: Worn/faded - small tears. Page Condition: Good. Markings: No markings. Usual shelf-wear.
A practical and comprehensive bilingual reference, this dictionary stands as an essential companion for students, travellers, and professionals navigating the Portuguese and English languages. It presents vocabulary and usage in both directions — Portuguese to English and English to Portuguese — incorporating the reformed spelling of Portuguese throughout, with special Brazilian usages clearly indicated wherever relevant. The volume is explicitly designed for those who require a functional, working knowledge of the language rather than purely academic study. Compiled by Richardson and Pereira, the dictionary reflects a mid-twentieth-century tradition of rigorous, student-focused lexicography, prioritising clarity and accessibility over exhaustive scholarly apparatus. Its dual-language structure and attention to Brazilian Portuguese variants make it a notably forward-thinking reference for its era — a resource that continues to reward the curious reader who wonders just how much a single volume can bridge two worlds.
