About This Book

The author, writing as an eyewitness participant in debates over a constructed international auxiliary language, recounts his move from an earlier system to Esperanto, explains why he found Esperanto preferable, and describes his research and hopes for a simple, flexible global tongue. He reviews many proposed reforms and rival systems, focuses criticism on Ido, and examines organizational and political disputes, arguing that minor alterations and factional tactics risk fragmenting the movement and impeding practical progress.
