The Odyssey / La Odisea: A Bilingual Spanish-English Retelling for Young Readers - Paperback

by Frances Bianchi (Author), Mara Seronda (Illustrator)

An illustrated bilingual Spanish-English adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey, designed for upper elementary and middle school readers in educational and bilingual settings.

This edition presents the Spanish text at the top of each page and the English text directly below, allowing structured side-by-side reading while preserving the continuity of the narrative. Both versions follow the same characters, events, and progression of the epic journey.

The text has been carefully adapted to ensure sentence-level equivalence of meaning while respecting the natural rhythm, syntax, and stylistic integrity of each language. This approach enables meaningful language comparison without interrupting the literary experience.

Appropriate for:

• Bilingual and dual-language programs
• Spanish and English language learners
• Guided classroom reading and discussion
• Independent academic reading
• Cross-linguistic literary study

Integrated teacher guidance is included at the end of the book to support instructional use while maintaining the focus on the story itself.
