When I googled I found several sites that had them for free, but they also had some recent hot releases for free, so assume they are disreputable.
So why hasn't Hemingway's copyright expired? |
Why would it have done? Hemmingway only died in 1961, so his works will enter the public domain in life+70 countries on 1st Jan 2032.
