Can you recommend a simple fiction book in Portuguese to help me understand the language better?
Can you also provide the ISBN, or a link to amazon so I may purchase this book? I am looking for a book a Brazilian teenager might read (nothing too artistic nor with advanced vocabulary).

Answer

Hi,
I don't know whether you have already some book in Portuguese. There is a publisher (Landmark) here in Brazil whose books are in English on the left side of the page and in Portuguese on the right side. I have read Contos Completos (Stories) of Oscar Wilde. It is a good book.
The books recommended earlier are pretty good, but if you haven't yet read some book in Portuguese, you could have difficulties to understand regional dialects.

You may try any of Jorge Amado's books. Another option is Paulo Coelho. Neither of them are among my favorite authors, but they are very sucessful and, I think, very accessible.
