-Why should I learn Esperanto?  Where did it first appear?

1. http://www.genekeyes.com/Dr_Esperanto.html .  The best English translation of the “First Book”, where Zamenhof spelled out the basics of Esperanto.  Here is where it all began, folks.  Highly recommended.
2. http://donh.best.vwh.net/Esperanto/eaccess/eaccess.book.html .  English-language E-book, written by Don Harlow.  Very detailed account of Esperanto, its history and background, literature, and even politics and more.  Also very highly recommended.
