1. Finding editions
We track translations through library catalogues, publishers, universities and readers who write in. Anything already published for free distribution, in the public domain, or cleared by its rights holder can be listed.
2. Checking the file
Before an edition goes up we confirm the translator and publisher, check the scan is complete and legible, count the pages, and split long works into volumes so nobody has to download a 400 MB file on a phone.
3. Credit and context
Each edition lists its translator, publisher, year, language, script and the countries where that language is read. Verified editions carry a mark; permission-pending scans say so plainly.
4. Downloading
Click the download button and the PDF opens — no sign-up, no e-mail, no waiting page. Volume sets are downloaded one volume at a time.
5. Keeping it free
Ads on browse pages cover hosting and bandwidth. Downloads themselves carry no ads and never will.
6. Corrections
If a file is wrong, incomplete or shouldn’t be here, tell us and we act — usually within a few days.
