where the text comes from

these books come from Project Gutenberg, a volunteer library of public-domain works. they are free to use, in the United States and most of the world, at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever — you may copy them, give them away, or re-use them under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License.

our copies are not untouched. we normalise typography (curly quotes and dashes become the ones on your keyboard), fold the occasional accented letter no key can produce, and cut each chapter into passages. a character you cannot type is a dead end in a typing exercise, so nothing here is left unreachable.
