Where can I read Nobody in full?

The complete text of Nobody is here, taken from Project Gutenberg eBook #28524 and divided into 2505 sections.

This page carries the whole of Nobody by Susan Warner, not an abridgement or a summary. The text comes from Project Gutenberg eBook #28524, with the Project Gutenberg header, footer and licence removed so that only the work itself remains. It runs to 12523 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 Nobody divided for reading?

Nobody is presented in 39 chapters, each split into sections of 5 sentences for steady reading.

Rather than presenting Nobody as unbroken pages, the text is grouped into 2505 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 Nobody read aloud?

Yes. Every sentence and every individual word of Nobody can be played aloud, and each word shows its dictionary entry.

Every sentence of Nobody 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.
