About Kho Sách Việt
Kho Sách Việt is a site for reading world literature in Vietnamese. Each book on this page pairs a Vietnamese translation with its English source, sentence by sentence, so you can check your understanding without leaving the page.
How the translations are made
The Vietnamese text is drafted with AI, then revised through several rounds of review and editing. Each book has its own map of the characters and how they address one another, because Vietnamese pronouns shift with age, rank and closeness in ways that English "you" and "I" never show. The English comes from public-domain editions on Project Gutenberg.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a good place to start.
