Introducing Project Gutenberg, a dataset that provides access to all the books available in that project. In our dataset, we wanted to provide a bulk download option to have access to Gutenberg books in ten different languages such as English, German, French, Polish, Portuguese, Dutch, Spanish, Hebrew, Russian and Chinese. 

English has the largest collection of books, followed by German. We are releasing this dataset for researchers and engineers to integrate these books for their artificial intelligence projects such as Embeddings, text-generation and fine-tuning. It is released under our Open-sci project at LAION AI.
