Every title here is drafted by machine and ruled on by a human translator, with the glossary and notes kept on the page. The library grows one considered text at a time.
Karl Abraham, 1877–1925
The first attempt anywhere to read the whole life and work of a painter through psychoanalysis — and the seed of the clinical theory of melancholia.
Leo Tolstoy, 1828–1910
Tolstoy’s secret last diary, hidden in his boot. Read it clean, or open “the page” to see his own deletions and the blots left by his wife’s hand.
Ivan Turgenev, 1818–1883
Our first audio production: the opening chapter of Turgenev’s novel of generations, read aloud from a fresh human-in-the-loop translation.
