This page carries the whole of Divinity by Joseph Samachson, not an abridgement or a summary. The text comes from Project Gutenberg eBook #22623, with the Project Gutenberg header, footer and licence removed so that only the work itself remains. It runs to 450 sentences across 1 chapters. Each chapter stores a record of which sentences cover which part of the work, so nothing is quietly dropped between the source edition and the page you read.
How is Divinity divided for reading?
Divinity is presented in 1 chapters, each split into sections of 5 sentences for steady reading.
Rather than presenting Divinity as unbroken pages, the text is grouped into 90 sections of 5 sentences each. A section is short enough to hold in mind at once, which suits a reader working in a second language or returning to a long work in short sittings. The 1 chapters follow the divisions of the source edition, and each section carries a contextual illustration drawn from the passage it accompanies rather than a stock image.
Can I hear Divinity read aloud?
Yes. Every sentence and every individual word of Divinity can be played aloud, and each word shows its dictionary entry.
Every sentence of Divinity can be played aloud, and so can any single word within it. Tapping a word plays it on its own and opens its dictionary entry, with the pronunciation shown in IPA alongside the part of speech and meaning. The reading voice uses United States English. This matters most for a work of this period, where a reader meets vocabulary and turns of phrase that are no longer in daily use and cannot be guessed reliably from spelling alone.
