Hi,

i found a leaflet from our library "bring and take" -box (free books that people don't need anymore and want to
give them away). I was wondering if the language is Esperanto. From the back cover:

"Tiu ĉi kolekto prezentas al la internacia publiko dudekon el la plej konataj paraboloj kaj de Multatuli, inkluzive de ĉiuj liaj historioj pri aŭtoritato."

Wo, that was difficult. I have no idea how to make the c with ^ , so they are separated. Also one u has that symbol
upside down and, I don't even know how to where to find that symbol on my laptop. No need to translate the text,
I'm just interested wether it's Esperanto or not.

It is. It is a leaflet of parables, according to the text presented.

It doesn't really matter if the forum you're typing on doesn't support the characters.
See: Ĉ, ĉ, Ĝ, ĝ, Ĥ, ĥ, Ĵ, ĵ, Ŝ, ŝ, Ŭ, ŭ. Those were the Esperanto-specific characters C^,
c^, G^, g^, H^, h^, J^, j^, S^, s^, and the capital and lowercase U with a breve accent.
It is most frustrating that a language forum, of all places, wouldn't support these
extended characters.

My translation Esperanto-English:

This collection presents to the international audience twelve of the most wellknown parables of Multatuli inclusively of all his stories about authority.
