A Free Library in your own Home

Project Gutenberg is made up of a group of dedicated bibliophiles that create electronic versions of books currently in the public domain. These "eBooks" are legal to download, read, copy, and give to others. At Project Gutenberg, you will find all the classics from Aesop's "Tales" to Zola's "Nana". All are unabridged and free to download to your computer.
