This is a complete, unabridged republication of a Dictionary of Spoken Spanish, which was specially prepared by nationally known linguists for the U.S. War Department (TM#30-900). It is compiled from spoken Spanish and emphasizes idiom and colloquial usage in both Castilian and Latin American areas. More than 16,000 entries provide exact translations of both English and Spanish sentences and phrases; as many as 60 idioms are listed under each entry. This is easily the largest list of idiomatic constructions ever published. Travelers, business people, and students who are interested in Latin American studies have found this dictionary their best source for those expressions of daily life and social activity not usually found in books. More than 18,000 idioms are given, not as isolated words that you have to conjugate or alter, but as complete sentences that you can use without change. A 25-page introduction provides a rapid survey of Spanish sounds, grammar, and syntax, with full consideration of irregular verbs. It is especially apt in its modern treatment of phrase and clause structure. A 17-page appendix gives translations of geographical names, numbers, national holidays for Spanish countries, important street signs, useful expressions of high frequency, and a unique 7-page glossary of Spanish and Spanish-American foods and dishes.

Durante un siglo, Villa Vistamar ha reinado como el mejor internado católico para jovencitas en los Estados Unidos; sus sacrosantos edificios han sido un hogar para inumerables numerosas jovencitas ¿peculiarmente, hijas de familias millonarias, y políticamente vulnerables¿ originarias de países extranjeros. Juntas de nuevo, durante una reunión de su generación, dos viejas amigas y compañeras del internado, aún intrigadas por los misterios del histórico convento donde vivieron su juventud, se empeñan en descubrir tanto los secretos de la vieja hacienda del suroeste, como la relación tan extraña entre las Hermanas de Santo Tomás y su benefactor. Convencidas de que descubrirían la clave del misterio en los viejos y macabros baúles que las monjas guardan en el sótano del convento, incursionan furtivamente, al amparo de la oscuridad nocturna, a las catacumbas de la antigua abadía, quedando literalmente atrapadas en un callejón sin salida; envueltas en una historia de intriga eclesiástica de la cual no existe escapatoria otra que descubrir la verdad. Varios encuentros terroríficos con los Guardianes de la Iglesia, que protegen los secretos que las mujeres han resuelto descifrar; así como la muerte de una anciana monja, anteriormente Madre Superiora de la Congregación, las llevan al descubrimiento de un escondrijo que guarda un millonario tesoro de un valor incalculable y que protege un tesoro aún mayor: un secreto que la Iglesia ha ocultado del mundo durante las últimas nueve décadas de la historia de Europa Oriental, bajo el código eclesiástico de Salve Regina.
