Copyrighted modern translations (Mitchell, Le Guin, Red Pine, Hinton, and others) are intentionally excluded. 观复 will not reproduce any text that is not firmly in the public domain.

Data quality notice

All text layers were machine-parsed from source editions and have not yet completed human spot-checking against facsimile or critical editions. Chapters shown prominently should be independently verified before citation. Labels in the reading view reflect this status.
