Read two of Wilhelm Hauff's oriental tales in the original German beside a clear English translation, one sentence at a time. "Der Scheik von Alessandria und seine Sklaven" (The Sheik of Alexandria and His Slaves) frames the storytelling, and "Die Geschichte Almansors" (The Story of Almansor) follows a young man carried far from home through misfortune and adventure — Hauff's romantic imagination at its warmest.

Every sentence is aligned German-to-English, so you always know exactly what you are reading. Tap any word for an instant definition, listen to natural audio in both languages, and follow the highlighted word alignment as the story is read aloud.

A rewarding way into real German literary prose for beginners and improving learners. From the acclaimed Märchen-Almanach of 1827.
