=TANGING YUGTO=
Bahay ni Artemio.--Pagbubukás n~g Tabing ay mamamalas ang kagayakan
n~g isang loob n~g bahay n~g mahirap. Makikitang si Artemio ay
nakahigâ sa isang papag na may talì n~g isang panyô ang kanyang ulo.
Ang ayos ni Artemio ay parang may dinaramdam na sakit. Sa kabilang
panig n~g bahay, na mangyayaring maging sa batalán, ay makikita si
Esperanza na naglalabá==Pag an~gát n~g Tabing at pagkaraan n~g isang
sandalî, ay titindig sa kanyang pagkakaupô si Esperanza.
Hapon, at ang ilang anag-ag n~g araw na matuling tinutun~go ang
kanyang kanlun~gan, ay pumapasok sa isang bintanà n~g kababayan.
=_I TAGPO_=
=Si Esperanza, pagkatapos, si Artemio=
Esp. (Mula sa labas.) Kaawaawa ang aking si Artemio!... Tatlong araw na
n~gayong hindi makakain!.. Lagi nang isa* mo'y may malalim na
iniisip!... May sakit kaya?
Art. (Mula sa kanyang hihigan. Uubo, at pagkatapos ay magtuturing.)
Bathala!... Lahat na po n~g hirap ay ibagsak na sa akin, n~guni't
ipagkaloob mo po lamang na magpatuloy sa pagbuti ang puso at
kalooban n~g aking si Esperanza!... (Hihintong sumandali.) Di po
kailan~gan na batahin ko ang lahat n~g pahirap matubos ko lamang
siya....
Ay ...!!!
Esp. (Papasok.) Bakit, aking Artemio, may sakit ka bang dinaramdam?
Art. Wala, aking mahal na asawa.
Esp. (Kulang nang paniwala.) Wala? Nagkakaila ka sa akin.
Art. (Pan~giti.) Maniwala ka aking Esperanza sa katatapos na isinagot.
Esp. Huwag mong ipilit Artemio ang pagkakailá n~g iyong dinaramdam sa
katawan. Talos ko, aking mahal na Artemio na tatlong araw na
n~gayong hindi ko man halos makakain. ¿Alin ang sanhî n~g
gayon?... (Pasumala) Marahil ay hindi ko nararapat na malaman, at
dahil dito'y hindi naman akó nagpupumilit na manawa ang gayon.
Art. Huwag, huwag kang magturing n~g ganyan. Esperanza pagka't ang
sarili mo ang siya ring sinusugatan: Tunay n~gang may kaunti akong
dinaramdam, n~guni't wala namang gaanong kabigatan.
Esp. Kung gayon, ay hayo, turan mo sana sa akin ang iyong damdamin.
Art. Tunay n~gang may m~ga tatatlong araw na n~gayon na laging
sumisikip ang aking dibdib.
Esp. Gayon pala, ay ¿bakit hindi mo nasabi sa akin?
Art. Mangyari, ay walang kabigatan.
Esp. Marahil n~ga'y tunay ang iyong sapantaha, n~guni't kailan~gan din
yata na ikaw ay makita n~g m~ga gamot.
Art. Huwag na.
Esp. Hindi. N~gayon din ay tatawag ako n~g isang manggagamot at n~g
makilala ang sanhi n~g iyong dinaramdam. (Anyong aalis.
Sasansalain ni Artemio.)
Art. Bayaan mo na, at ito'y walang anoman. Kabigatan.
Esp. Hindi, hindi ko matitiis na makikita kang may karamdaman at hindi
ikita n~g lunas ang gayon.
Art. Kung mapili ka sa iyong nasa, ay bayaan mo n~g ako ang siyang
tumun~go roon. Arimuhanan din ang mabawas sa dalawang piso na
ating ibabayad sa Mangagamot, kung siya pa ang paririto.
Esp. Huwag na, at baka ka pa abutan sa iyong pagtun~go doon.
Art. Hindi, huwag kang mag-ala-ala. Sa awa ni Bathala, ang dati kong
lakas ay hindi pa din nagbabawa, ni hindi humihiwalay sa akin.
(Aalisin ang nakataling panyô sa kaniyang ulo. Huhusain ang
kaniyang buhok, at pagkatapos ay kukunin ang kaniyang sombrero at
bago umalis ay magtuturing n~g:)
¡Hangang mamaya!
Esp. Hanggang mamaya aking Artemio, at kaiin~gat ka sana sa iyong
katawan.
(Aalis si Artemio.)
_=II TAGPO=_
=Si Esperanza ay nagiisa=
Esp. (Luluhod sa harap n~g isang Kristo. Malumbay) ¡Bathala!...
¡Bathala!... Ipagkaloob mo po sanang ang sakit na dinaramdam n~g
aking Artemio ay huwag maging mabigat. Ipagkaloob mo po Diyos ko,
na ang manggagamot na titin~gin sa kaniyang damdamin, ay matuklas
ang gamot n~g kanyang karamdaman!... ¡Para mo na pong habag sa
akin!... At, kung ang ikagagaling po niya'y ang aking buhay, naito
po, at maluwag kong inihahandog sa inyo ang aking puso ...
Mula sa labas. ¡Tao po!
Esp. (Sa sarili). ¡May tao!... (Tatayo sa kanyang pagkakaluhod
tutun~guhin ang tarangkahan at bubuksan). ¡Tuloy po!
Lalabas si Ramon.
_=III TAGPO=_
=Siya din at si Ramón=
Ram. ¡Esperanza!... ¡Anong sayá at nakita kitang ulî ... (Anyong
yayakapin).
Esp. (Pasansala kay Ramón at waring galit). Ginoo! dahandahan! Huwag
ka po magasal n~g papaganiyan.
Ram. (Mamasdan n~g pakutya at pagkatapos ay hahalukipkip.) Esperanza,
nagpakikilalang tila mabuti ang natagpuan mong ka agulo, pagka't
tila ... nalimutan mo na tuloy akó.
Esp. (Galit) Ginoo, huwag mo pong lapastan~ganin ang isang katulad kong
na sasa loob n~g kaniyang sariling pamamahay.
Ram. (Palabag) ¿Pinupuno mo pa ako n~gayon? ¿Di yata? ¡Ja! ¡Ja!
¡Ja!..... Kilalanin mo akong mabuti. Ako ang isa sa m~ga giniliw mo sa
Salon, sa Bahay sayawan!... ¿Hindi ka na ba sumasayaw n~gayon?
Esp. Alang-alang sa Diyos, huwag ninyong bigyan n~g kauntulan ang isang
babae na nanunumbalik sa kaniyang kabutihan ...
Ram. (Pakutya) ¿Nagiisip ka n~g bumuti? Loka ka n~ga yata. Ang lalong
kabutihan mong magagawa, ay ang sumama ka sa akin.
Esp. Ah, hindi, hindi na. Talastasin ninyo na ang Esperanzang ibinulid
ninyo sa kasamaan, ay hindi na siya ang kausap sa m~ga sandaling
ito.
Ram. (Patuya). Loka ka n~ga palang tao. Dapat mong talastasin na ang
isang babayeng na gumon na sa lusak, at ang kapurihan ay nawalan
na n~g tunay na halaga, ay hindi na mangyayari pang bumuti. Kaya
n~ga't.... (Anyong yayakaping muli.)
Esp. (Galit) Huwag ka pong man~gahas n~g ganyan, Ginoo, kung di mo ibig
na kayo'y samain.
Ram. Sasangayon ako sa iyong hinihiling kailan man at sasama ka sa
akin.
Esp. (Boong puso.) ¡Ah!... sukat na ang pagulit n~g ganyang pananalita.
Tahas kong sinabi sa inyó na hindi ako makapapayag sa inyong
hiling.
Ram. (Pakutya, pagkatapos na tignang mabuti ang ayos n~g bahay.) ¡Ha!
¡Ha! ¡Ha!... Malasin mo Esperanza ang bahay na itó, na halos ay
magibâ na lamang. (Pahikayat) Sumama ka sa akin, at kita ay
pagkakalooban n~g isang marikit na bahay ... di katulad nitó. Hayo
na. Sumama ka sa akin. (Patabanan niya sa kamay si Esperanza at
pipiliting sumama sa kanya.)
Esp. (Galit na galit). Ako'y inyong bitawan ...
Ram. (Pabatok) ¡Sumama ka sa akin!...
Esp. (Matatabanan ang isang luklukan, at siyang ihahampas kay Ramon.
Ito'y tatakbo sa loob.) ¡Inibig mo ang ganyan, ikaw ang bahala ...
(Huhusain ang kanyang damit at buhok na magusot.)
Buhat sa loob: ¡Magandang hapon po!
Esp. ¡Magandang hapon po naman!
Lalabas si Rafael.
_=IV NA TAGPO=_
=Si Esperanza at Rafael=
Raf. (Pagkakita kay Esperanza). ¿Ano, Esperanza, kumusta ka?
Esp. (Magalak) Ikaw pala, Rafael. Mabuti sa awa ni Bathala.
Raf. ¿Si Artemio, saan naroon? ¿Wala ba siya rito?
Esp. Wala, tumun~go siya sa bahay n~g isang mangagamot at ikinuhang
sangguni ang kaniyang karamdamang tinataglay.
Raf. ¿May sakit? ¿Mabigat bagá?
Esp. Hindi, ayon sa sabi niya sa akin, n~guni't sa palagay ko ay hindi
nararapat na palampasin. Akó na sana ang tatawag sa Mangagamot,
n~guni't hindi siya pumayag, dahil sa malaki pa raw ang aming
ibabayad.
Raf. Matagal kaya siya?
Esp. Hindi naman marahil. Matagal ka rin hindi nakaka-ala-ala sa amin.
Raf. Tunay n~ga, pagka't tumun~go akó sa lalawigang Pangasinan at
pinakialaman ko roon ang isang Lupain. N~gayon, ay kararating ko
pa lamang. Ipinalalagay ko Esperanza, n~gayon sa ayos n~g inyong
tahanan, na dumadanas kayó n~g di kakaunting hirap at paghihikahos,
at dahil sa gayon, ay tangapin mo ito. (Ibibigay ang isang bilot
na papel moneda.)
Esp. (Tututulan ang ibinibigay sa kaniya) Payagan mo sana Rafael, na
huwag kong tangapin ang inyong ibinibigay sa amin. Gayon man, ay
asahan mong pinasasalamatan namin n~g marami.
Raf. (Pasamo) Kunin mo sana, Esperanza, at iya'i huwag mong ipalagay sa
bilang limos ko baga sa iyo, kundi, parang isang abuloy ko sa inyó
ni Artemio.
Esp. Kahit na, hindi ko sana ibig tan~gapin ang gayon alang-alang
lamang sa iyong m~ga pan~gan~gatuwiran ay paiirugan kita, n~guni't
¿hindi ba ang lalong mabuti ay kay Artemio mo na ibigay kung siya
ay dumating?
Raf. Oo, tunay ang iyong sinabi.
Lalabas sina Salustiano at Delfin.
_=V TAGPO=_
=Sila rin at sina Salustiano at Delfin=
Sal. (Papasok) ¡Magandang hapon po!
Esp. Magandang hapon po naman. Magtuloy po sila. (Ang dalawa ay
papasok. Si Rafael, pagkakita kay Delfin ay magalak na yayakapin
ito.)
Del. (Kay Rafael) ¡Kaibigang Rafael!...
Raf. (Pataka) ¿Anong hiwaga ito? (Ap) Ano't pati n~g m~ga umalipusta
kay Artemio sa kanyang pagaasawa kay Esperanza, ay nagsitun~go
n~gayon dito?
Esp. (Kay Rafael) Tunay ang iyong katatapos na sinabi, Rafael.(Sa
dalawang bagong pasok). ¿Kan~gino pong santó utang namin ang
inyong pagkakaparito?
Sal. Sa kan~gino man po sa m~ga santo, ay wala, n~guni't o, sa isang
balitang tinanggap kagabi sa bahay n~g amá ni Artemio na umano'y
may sakit daw. ¿Tunay n~ga po ba? (Kay Esperanza.)
Esp. Tunay n~ga po, n~guni't wala namang anomang kabigatan, na di gaya
mandin n~g gumalang balita.
Del. ¿N~guni't saan po naroroon si Artemio? ¿Nasaan po ang aming giliw
na kaibigan?
Raf. (Galit, n~guni't nagpipigil. Aparte.) ¿Kaibigan nilá? (Sa dalawa.)
At, hindi n~ga ba't kayó ang m~ga nagsipagpuno n~g pagkutya kay
Artemio, na n~gayon ay tinatawag na mahal na kaibigan, n~g gabing
humihin~gi siya n~g tawad sa kaniyang amá? ¿Sa palagay kaya ninyó,
ay mabuti ang gayon kagagawan?
Ang Dal. (Kay Raf. pakumbaba) Namamali ka, kaibigan; hindi kami ang
nagsimula n~g gayon?
Raf. At sino?
Ang Dal. Hindi namin alam.
Esp. (Ap. kay Raf.) Bayaan mo na silá. Sila'y pinatatawad namin.
Del. N~guni't, saan n~ga po ba naroroon si Artemio?
Raf. ¿Bakit anong pilit n~g inyong pagtatanong sa kaniya?
Del. Pagka't, mayroon kaming ibabalitang isang bagay.
Sal. Tunay n~ga po, ibabalita namin sa kaniya na siya ay....
pinata....
(Lalabas si Artemio, na may tali'y na dalawang sisiglan n~g gamot.)
_=VI TAGPO=_
=Sila din at si Artemio=
Esp. (Sasalubun~gin). ¡Salamat, dumating ka! Kan~gina ka pa hinihintay
n~g m~ga kaibigan mo ...
Raf. (Yayakapin) ¡Mahal na kaibigan!...
Art. (Yayakapin din). ¡Kaibigang Rafael!...
Sal. Kaibigang Artemio ... (Anyong yayakapin).
Art. (Pataka). ¡Aba, naririto pala kayo!... (Ap). ¿Ano kaya ang sanhi?
Del. Ipagtataka mo n~ga marahil, n~guni't kapag natanto mo ang sanhi
n~g gayon, ay hindi malayong iyong ikatutuwa.
Sal. Tunay, ang sinabi ni Delfin. Naparito kami upang ibalita sa iyo,
na kumalat ang balitang ikaw ay may sakit na malubha.
Art. (Pan~giti). Malubha ang aking sakit? ¿Nabalita ang gayon? Saan?
Del. Sa lahat n~g m~ga pahayagan dito.
Art. Sa m~ga pahayagan? (Kulang n~g paniwala.) Huwag sana ninyo akong
biruin n~g ganyan....
Sal. Hindi biro, kaibigan....
Art. Sa makatwid pala ay tu ...
Del. Oo, tunay, maniwala ka sa aming ibinalita sa iyo.
Art. ¿Hindi kaya iyan, ay katulad n~g inyong ginawa sa akin na
pagkatapos na udyukan upang tumun~go sa bahay n~g aking m~ga
magulang n~g doo'y ipinagdiriwang ang kanyang kapistahan, na
pagkatapos ay kayó pa ang siyang umalipusta sa akin? ¿Hindi kaya
itó ay isa na namang _kabuluhang_ ibig ninyong idulot sa akin?
Del. (Papakumbaba). Maniwala ka sa aming hindi.
Sal. At ang balitang ibibigay namin sa iyo, ay kagabí lamang namin
tinangap. ¿At, nalalaman mo ba kung saang bahay namin tinanggap?
Art. (Boong pagnanasa). Kan~gino?
Esp. at Raf. Siya n~ga, kan~gino?
Del. Sa bahay n~g iyong papá.
Art. Sa bahay n~g pa ...? (Alinlan~gan) ¡Ah!... Hindi ko
mapaniniwalaan!
Del. Ayaw kang maniwala? Siya, m~ga ilang saglit na lamang, at makikita
mo din kung ang balita namin ay biro lamang ...
Sal. At, lalong hindi ninyo mapaniniwalaan marahil kung aking sabihin
na, tanggapin n~g mag-asawa ni D. Luis ang balitang tinuran na, ay
kapuwa nan~gapaiyak, at si D. Luis ay nagturing na «Amalia,
tun~guhin natin siya» ...
Art. (Kulang paniniwala. Waring galit). Salustiano, Delfin, hangga
n~gayon ay ipinalalagay ko pa kayong kaibigan, n~guni't utang na
loob kong kikilanlin sa inyo na huwag na akong biruin. Huwag na
ninyong ulitin kapuwa ang pagbabalita n~g hindi tunay. Ang aking
ama ay hindi makapagpapatawad sa akin, talos ko ang kanyang ugali.
At talos ko din naman na kanya nang ipahihiwatig sa m~ga lalong
kapalagayang loob na ako'y kaniyang isinusumpa ... At wala akong
mahihintay na mana sa kaniya ...
Del. Maniwala ka at siya ay paparito.
Sal. Tunay, gayon ang kanilang sinabi sa akin.
Art. ¿Paparito? (Galit) ¡Sukat na n~g inyong pagkutya! ¡Sukat na!...
Sal. Huwag kang magalit. Sa katunayan, ang mama mo ay itinanong pa
tuloy sa inyong Papa kung ikaw ay pinatatawad na niya sa iyong
pagkakamali.
Art. (Kulang n~g paniniwala). At ano ang isinagot?
Sal. Na ikaw ay pinatatawad niya, at muling kinikilalang anak, alalaong
baga'y parang walang nangyari sa inyo.
(Makaririn~gig n~g m~ga yabag n~g kabayong wari ay katitigil lamang sa
tapat n~g bahay ni Artemio. Dudun~gaw si Rafael at pagkatapos ay
sasabihing sakdal tuwa.)
Raf. Artemio, naririto ang iyong m~ga magulang! (Lalabas na nagdudumali
sina D. Luis at D.a Amalia.)
_=VII TAGPO=_
=Sila din at si D. Luis at D.a Amalia=
D. Luis. (Yayakapin) ¡Artemio!.... ¡Anak kong mahal!
D.a Am. (Yayakapin) ¡Anak ko!
Artemio. ¡Papá, Mamá!... Patawarin ninyo kamil!... (luluhod siya.)
D. Luis. Pinatatawid kana namin!... (Makikita si Esperanza pa
pakatin~gin lamang sa kanila na waring takot at tatawagin.)
¡Esperanza halika!...
Esp. (Lalapit n~g patakot) ¡Patawarin mo na po kami!..... (Luhod).
D. Luis. (Ititindig at yayakapin si Esperanza.) Pagtindig, Esperanza,
at ikaw ay pinatatawad namin!..... Ako, oo, akó ang siyang lalo mo
pang dapat patawarin dahil sa pagapi kong ginawa sa iyo.
Lalabas si D. Mateo.
_=VIII TAGPO=_
=Sila rin at si Mateo=
D. Mat. (Mula sa pintuan) ¿Se puede?
D. Luis. ¡Patuloy po kayó!... Ginoong Notario.
Art. (Ap) ¿Ano ang ibig sabihin nito?
D. Mat. Naparito po akó upang ipagbigay alam sa inyó ang huling
habilin at pasya n~g isang amain n~g inyong asawa. (Kay Artemio)
Art. (Pataka) N~g aking pong asawa? (Ang lahat n~g m~ga panauhin ay
mapataka. Lalo na si Esperanza.)
D. Mat. Oo, po. Isang amain nila (Ituturo si Esperanza) na siyang
lalong mayaman sa Misamis na nagn~gan~galang Pedro Abelario, na
kamamatay pa lamang sa Bayang ito ay inihalal niyang tunay na
magmamana sa lahat n~g kaniyang pag-aari.
Art. (Kulang pa din n~g paniwala) ¿Tunay n~ga po ba?
D. Mat. Tunay po. At sa katotohanan, ay, naririto po ang testamento, at
sampu n~g lahat n~g kayamanan.
(Bubuksan ang kanyang tan~gang Kartera, at ibibigay ang testamento,
m~ga dokumento at m~ga salapi.)
Art. (Boong galak) ¡Esperanza, Mama, Papa.. M~ga kaibigan ko.
Lahat. (Pataka) ¿Ano ang nangyayari?
Art. (Matuwa). Si Esperanza ay _heredera_ n~g lahat n~g m~ga kayamanan
n~g isang amain niya na kamamatay lamang.
Lahat. ¿Tunay?
Art. Tunay. At talos ninyo kung magkano? Limang pung libo....
Lahat. ¿Tunay n~ga ba?
Art. Oo, at naito, inyong malasin!.... (Ipakikita ang testamento.)
Lahat. Mayaman pala si Esperanza!....
Esp. Ganiyan n~ga ang patunay, m~ga ginoo n~g Notario, n~guni't huwag
ninyong ipalagay na ang gayon ay magpapabago sa aking paguugali.
Ang yaman sa biglaang sabi, ay hindi ko kailan~gan, kundi, ang
kapatawaran lamang n~g m~ga nagagalit sa akin. Nasa ko po ang
mahirap!
Lahat. ¡Mabuting puso!...
Esp. (Kay Artemio) Artemio, ang kayamanan kong nagbuhat sa aking mamang
kamamatay pa lamang, ay ipinagpapaubaya ko as iyo ... Nais ko
lamang sanang ang dalawang hati, ay ipagpagawa n~g isang paaralan
para sa m~ga anak n~g mahíhirap; at, isang bahay ampunan para sa
m~ga laging sinasahol n~g palad; para sa m~ga anak n~g
kahirapan..... ¿Tinutulutan mo ba ang gayon?
Art. (Magalak) ¡Nang boong puso!... (Sa lahat n~g kanyang panauhin)
¡M~ga kaibigan!... ¡Papá, Mamá!... Tumubo rin ang aking inihasik
na m~ga pan~garal!... (Tatabanan sa isang bisig si Esperanza).
¡Naito!... ¡Naito ang ninasa kong tubusin: (Boong puso). ¡Kahapon,
siya'y makasalanan, at n~gayon ay tunay n~g malinis. ¿Siya ang
aking Esperanza; ang pag-asa kong naging katunayan!... ¡Dapat
matanto n~g lahat na hindi ang bawa't nalublob sa burak n~g
kasamaan, ay hindi na bubuti! ¡Naito si Esperanza na siyang tunay
na saksi!... Larawang tunay n~g m~ga nagbabagong buhay!...
(Lahat n~g m~ga panauhin, ay mapapamaang: Ang manggagawa ni D. Luis,
ay yayakapin ang dalawa ni Artemio at Esperanza samantalang, ang m~ga
kaibigan naman nito ay magagalak na tatabanan si Artemio sa kamay. Ang
TABING sa gayon ay unti-unting malalaglag.)

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit http://pglaf.org
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.
Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
http://www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
