In a move set to enrich minds this summer, Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim is providing free access to a vast digital library featuring over 700 classic literary works. This initiative, aimed at promoting education and cultural enrichment, allows readers to download beloved texts in both Spanish and English, offering a valuable resource for students and literature enthusiasts alike.

The curated collection, accessible via the website pruebat.org, boasts a diverse range of titles categorized by author, genre, and recommended age. Readers can explore timeless masterpieces such as shakespeare’s tragedies, Miguel de Cervantes’ iconic “Don Quixote de la Mancha,” and Emily Brontë’s “Wuthering Heights” in its original English. The library also includes philosophical works from thinkers like Plato, Voltaire, and Rousseau, catering to a wide spectrum of literary interests.

The platform emphasizes its commitment to providing access to “some of the most crucial books written by recognized authors worldwide,” enabling individuals to build personal libraries and engage with literature at their own pace. Users can easily select their preferred book and download it in either PDF or EPUB format, ensuring compatibility with various reading devices.

For instance, a reader interested in Shakespeare can access and download “Macbeth” in PDF format, a testament to the platform’s user-kind interface and the enduring appeal of classic drama. With summer vacations extending for primary and secondary students until September 1st, this initiative presents an ideal prospect to delve into the world of literature and make the most of leisure time.
