DailyLit Offers Foreign Language Titles
E-Mail/RSS Book Delivery Service Adds Literary Works In Several Languages
To Its Ever-Expanding List Of Free Books
Mamaroneck, New York - June 21, 2007 - Following its successful launch last month, DailyLit (www.dailylit.com), a service that allows users to read entire books via email and RSS installments, has just begun to release books in foreign languages, starting with French, Italian, and Spanish.
The idea came to the founders of DailyLit based on requests for books that they have received from their 60,000+ subscribers around the globe. Works including Voltaire's Candide, Dante's Divine Comedy and Cervantes' Don Quixote are now available in their original languages. Like other public domain classics on DailyLit, these works are free for subscribers everywhere. The foreign language books on DailyLit can also be used as language-learning and maintenance tools, allowing people to become acquainted with reading in a language of their choice, whether at home, while commuting, or during a lunch break.
"We had a number of requests for foreign language books from readers around the world" said Susan Danziger, co-founder of DailyLit. "My husband (Albert Wenger, co-founder of DailyLit) and I both speak several languages, and we are looking forward to tackling some of the classics in the original version. These books should be a great addition for international subscribers, ex-pats, and language students of all ages."
Currently the library of books includes works in four different languages (English, French, Spanish and Italian), with more to come. "We'll soon be adding German" said Wenger, "We have had quite a few requests for works by Goethe and other German authors."
