This book explores the history and mythology of the Celtic people through the eyes of ancient Greek and Roman writers. The text is written in formal, early twentieth-century Dutch, which can be challenging due to its complex sentence structures and academic vocabulary. You will encounter many historical references and descriptive passages that require careful reading. It is a demanding but rewarding choice for learners who want to improve their comprehension of sophisticated, non-fiction prose while exploring the origins of European cultural legends.

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 7 min at a native pace, spread over 379 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
