About this site

Welcome to Prospero’s Isle, a site designed to make great works of world literature available in English in on-line and e-book formats, free of charge and free of publicity.

Centred on outstanding stories by the great writers whose works in this format have best passed the test of time in our opinion, the site also contains most of the greatest English-language novels free of copyright as well as a good number of major memoirs, poems and essays.
