About Bookslingo
A digital library of classics, read sentence by sentence across languages.
Why it exists
Reading a classic in the language it was written in stops being a privilege once every sentence has its counterpart within reach. That is the one thing Bookslingo sets out to do well.
How the library is prepared
Every work is aligned sentence by sentence and reviewed before it enters the library. A language appears as a reading option only when the text genuinely exists.
Where the texts come from
The texts come from public-domain editions. For each work we record the language, the source, the translator, the edition and the year.
The details of the company behind Bookslingo are still to be supplied by the publisher.
