The volume is structured in 130 lessons. They are parallel dialogues in French and Russian designed for everyday, conversational contexts.

Copy with pages in overall good condition, with the usual signs of use and time and a few stains. Contemporary half-leather binding quite worn and with gaps, but still solid.
