hello everyone

I have a question. One day... ( true story ^^) I found on the net a website with texts of well known writers like Natsume Sôseki.

It was full text, in japanese language and I remembered the name of the site was something like : "aoibunzo..." or "aoi..."

I don't know...

This site was so practical!

Does someone know it?

Pretty please????

(by the way, is it legal... I mean... no author rights.... kind of illegal...?)

I think you are talking about ‹󕶌 Aozora bunko.
http://www.aozora.gr.jp/

Of course it is legal, it is just like Gutenberg Project (http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page), a collection of literature works whose copyright expired.
(Which means you would not find contemporary works...)
:cool:

AOZORA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much!!!!!

I was near: aoi... something, no?

:p

Ah, ok. Works that are in the public domain, isn't it?

So you can find Murasaki and not Kôbo Abe for example.
