    Please, check marks: "even difficult to know WHAT to download to read ..."
    Dickens's novel is called A Tale of Two Cities, not a "tale."

    It is not clarified, but I suppose they are books in English, right?

    Does anyone know by chance, when the copyright of a book ends? And also what happens when editions of novels are made that the author has died for more than a hundred years, for example. Does the publisher benefit from someone else's work "by the face" or how?

    Thanks in advance if anyone knows and responds.
