#Literatura #books Pinocchio acabado en italiano con ayuda traductor. Ahora toca descansar leyendo "Animal farm" de #Orwell. La leí traducida en versión barata, ahora original en inglés, tapa dura de 1946 

Once she looked closer, the whole shop began to resemble a ballet of rules, gestures, and rehearsed obedience. There was a law in play, but how was it phrased?

He has company. Colin McMahon, a 59-year-old roofer, was #handcuffed on Harlesden High Street by the Metropolitan #Police after a #camera linked him to a £300 furniture #theft from Ikea.


There was a small problem with that allegation though. He was running an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting ten miles away at the time, and a magistrate later acquitted him.

The evidence that justified hauling him to court? Court documents show officers noted he had “the same glasses, similar facial features, a skinny body structure and similar white shoes” as the #suspect.

WTF?

Tried to find 1984 and Brave New World at @gutenberg_org

Could not find both.

George Orwell is not listed in the search anymore.

I have downloaded both of them from there several years ago.

What the heck is going on?

If I have made a mistake in the search, let me know.
