The world's free library, searchable. The complete Project Gutenberg catalog — 78,037 public-domain ebooks in 56 languages — with full-text search over titles, authors AND Library of Congress subjects ('pride and prejudice' → Gutenberg #1342; 'detective fiction' → 1,190 books), author and language filters (Jules Verne in French: 47 works), parsed display authors ('Austen, Jane, 1775-1817' becomes 'Jane Austen'), subjects, LoC classes and curated bookshelves. Every book ships with ready-to-use links: the Gutenberg landing page, plain-text and EPUB downloads, and a cover image — all from Gutenberg's stable cache layout (verified live). A random endpoint (optionally per language) powers book-of-the-day features, and detail responses include more works by the same author (Moby Dick → Typee, and the rest of Melville). Reading apps, e-ink devices, education platforms, language-learning tools, literary games and AI training corpora — the classics, one API call away.
