Doppeltext unites the original with the literary translation.

Do you prefer reading novels to reading dictionaries?

Doppeltext makes unabridged versions of famous novels and short stories accessible, even for foreign-language beginners. While reading, click on a sentence to display the literary translation. We use professional, published translations only, no Google Translate.

You instantly understand the context,

because the text fragments are only 120 characters long on average. Your reading flow is not interrupted; atmosphere of the original work is preserved.

Learn languages with world literature.

Being captivated by a book naturally improves your language comprehension and vocabulary. You get a feeling for the language as a whole.
