Excerpt from A Comparative Glossary of the Gothic Language With Especial Reference to English and German
The remains of the language ar in several respects such as to make them specially suitabl for study by beginners in comparativ study of language, and especially by students wishing to obtain a thuro knowledge of the English language. Gothic is a sister speech to English, it is the oldest of the Teutonic family. The Gothic Bible is several centuries older than any record of the other sister speech es. The student of language entering on the study of fonology finds here an admirably simpl fonetic system, which leads the way at onse to an understanding of those fonetic changes which appear so complicated and inexplicabl in English and the other modern Germanic languages.

Riassunto
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho continues to change the lives of its readers forever. With more than two million copies sold around the world, The Alchemist has established itself as a modern classic, universally admired.
Paulo Coelho's masterpiece tells the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found.
The story of the treasures Santiago finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories can, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, above all, following our dreams.
