Books - Unaltered

[MikeBjerum]

I have been frustrated for years, and it is getting worse.  I like to read books the way the author wrote them.  I don't need to have a first edition, but I do want the original writing.  As books are reprinted they are often edited to change for changing language and other cultural standards.

Does anyone know where a person can get literary works in their original text?  An example would be The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn or Fahrenheit 451?  There are many, but you get the idea.

The only thing I can add is what you know.  Find a reseller around you...maybe at a fleamarket.  Books can be cheap right now.

Internet archive/Gutenburg, or the free section of Amazon Kindle.
The copies are made from originals because they are out of copy right.
Kindle is MUCH better. Gutenburg uses a lot of Optically scanned stuff that can come out as useless gibberish. But they do have a lot of usable stuff.
You will need to download an book App, I used "Book Bazaar" but it's all free.

I tried to read The Reivers by  William Faulkner a few years back.  It was a cute movie back in it's day, but reading the dialect was difficult even if I did grow up speaking it.  Good luck in finding that one on the shelf anywhere.

Unaltered books.  Big brother is just protecting you from harmful thoughts.   There are all sorts of things from our history that are harmful.

I’ve read a book called "Little Women" by Louise May Alcott. The novel is about four sisters, their life, friendship, growing up. In short, for me it’s a one-time book. Of course, today the book will seem very boring for modern young girls. There is not even a storyline here. Description of their boring measured life, their worries, children's desires. Although it would be useful for them to read, because children's selfishness is still relevant today. This book is also suitable for a more adult female audience, there is something to think about child-rearing. The story is not modern at all, and the book is not very exciting, but I do not regret having read it. A recommendation only for lovers of women's classics.
