George Orwell, now PD in Europe
Posted: Fri 1. Jan 2021, 13:58
Hi all, and happy new year!
As of today the works of George Orwell are PD in Europe. They had already been PD in Canada and Australia, hence those countries’ versions of Gutenberg have online texts of Orwell’s works that we in Europe can now access.
I’m not sure about the Legamus policy on this, but I prefer the Canadian site because they state which edition they’ve transcribed.

Once I have completed my current Oscar Wilde project, I may get started on them. But Orwell wrote a lot of books so I encourage others to pick one and start reading.
All the best for 2021,
