This scientific text explores the biological characteristics of fish. Written in the nineteenth century, the language uses formal and descriptive vocabulary typical of academic natural history of that era. You will encounter long, complex sentences with multiple clauses that require careful reading to follow the anatomical details. The themes focus on morphology, classification, and the physical diversity of aquatic life. It is a demanding read for learners, as it relies on precise terminology and intricate sentence structures to explain biological concepts.

Questions about this book
What level of Dutch do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 12 h 32 min at a native pace, spread over 13 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
