This book is a nineteenth century Filipino translation of a classic adventure story about a castaway. Because it was written in the late 1800s, the language reflects the formal and religious tone of that era. You will encounter archaic spelling and vocabulary that differs from modern Filipino. The sentences are structured with a focus on formal documentation and narrative pacing. It is a demanding read that offers a unique look at the historical development of the language during the colonial period.

Questions about this book
What level of Filipino 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 4 h 18 min at a native pace, spread over 17 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
