I didn't bother reading it though past bits and pieces on that head-page there, but it seems to be based on Italo Chiussi's translation.
It does seem a little buggy though...

ContextSwitch:Gaelic revival literature had the same problem; lots of books written by well-intentioned people with good language skills, but absolutely terrible story-tellers! It's something that will just take time. We really need an Esperanto Tolkein or Rowling to get things going.
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*).
Maybe we should all try our hand at creative writing in Esperanto and surely one of us will write something decent!

sudanglo:Closest I can find is these people, usually available to order through decent UK bookshops:
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.

Here the limitation comes not from the absence of Esperanists with sufficient skills for the task, but rather, I would guess, the problems of acquiring the translation rights cheaply.
Which of the books, Guy, in your link, have you read and can confirm fall into the class I mentioned.

sudanglo:Much easier to translate Ciskje, than to create originally.None of the above I'm afraid. I own Pro kio? which is an original crime thriller in Esperanto but I've yet to be good enough to read it properly. I came across the publisher researching Esperanto stuff in print (I am a bookseller, one of the perks is using the shop databases for my personal interests) & thought it might interest you.

Perhaps because the High Holidays are upon us I find myself wondering what certain bits of Jewish liturgy, such as the Kol Nidre, would look like in Esperanto.
