Hey, man, that work has been done at the very beginning of Esperanto - perhaps you think of an upgrade rido.gif

A quick Google search turned up this. Apparently it's not the whole thing, but it still looks like a pretty long read.

It would very much surprise me to learn that that there is some foundation text for a major religion that hasn't already been translated into Esperanto. I imagine that there would be no expensive copyright problems for such texts.

What there is a dearth of in Esperanto is the sort of book you would take with you to read on a long journey - thrillers, policiers, and other light entertainments.

"The Urantia Book" (2097 pages), copyright Urantia Foundation, Chicago, Illinois, is not yet translated into Esperanto.

It's a pity.

Amike.

Then I can surprise you easily: Tripitaka, the most important (but not the largest) part of the Theravada Buddhist tradition has not been completely translated into any language yet. It has 57 volumes, 43 of them having low-quality English translation. To say nothing of Esperanto, I think nobody even tried.
And this is a small part of texts of one particular branch of Buddhism. Think of it as of, to say, Old Testament.

Ain't that the truth!

At the last North West England kunveno I managed to pick up a novel, "La Adventuroj de Marteno Drake", which I'm reading at the moment. It's a right rollocking read as they say but it was written in another time and probably wouldn't interest a lot of people unless you like older novels (which I do).

I made a start on the "Cxu" novels by reading "Cxu Vi kuiras Cxine?" but found it more useful as an EO practice rather than a novel (I didn't think it was any good ... *ducks*).
