Where can I read Fraternity in full?

The complete text of Fraternity is here, taken from Project Gutenberg eBook #2773 and divided into 1214 sections.

This page carries the whole of Fraternity by John Galsworthy, not an abridgement or a summary. The text comes from Project Gutenberg eBook #2773, a public-domain edition, with the Project Gutenberg header, footer and licence removed so that only the work itself remains. It runs to 6068 sentences across 39 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 Fraternity divided for reading?

Fraternity is presented in 39 chapters, each split into sections of 5 sentences for steady reading.

Rather than presenting Fraternity as unbroken pages, the text is grouped into 1214 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 39 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 Fraternity read aloud?

Yes. Every sentence and every individual word of Fraternity can be played aloud, and each word shows its dictionary entry.

Every sentence of Fraternity 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.
