This website claims to have Latin translations of a wide range of books, including Dracula, Animal Farm, Jurassic Park, and others: https://www.nicolaspierredalone.com/

I’ve never heard of this site before. There seem to be too many books for a small number of people to have translated without using computer translations. Some of them are still in copyright. Many of the covers appear to be AI generated, which adds to my suspicion that the translations may also be AI.

I’d love the site to be legit! If anyone here can reassure me that these are high quality human-made translations, I’d certainly be interested in buying some of these books. Does anyone know these people? Are they legit scholars?

For just over a year I've been working through Familia Romana on my own, supplementing with Colloquia Personarum, Fabellae Latinae, some novellas, Legentibus, YouTube channels and other materials for a varied diet. I've just hit Capitulum XXVIII of FR and I find it very exciting to be reading extracts from the Vulgate Bible. I've been wondering when I'd be ready to tackle some ancient Latin texts. I didn't think it would be so soon, although I realise these are selected extracts with vocabulary support in the margins and it's different from just diving in at the start of Genesis.

I wanted to say thanks to this community, especially for the study support materials in the sidebar. It really is an absolute treasure trove and I appreciate all the work and expertise that went into putting it together. Gratias vobis omnibus ago
