Z-Library domains are seized and pirate book site is dead

Well, not quite.

The pirate site is effectively dead right now, since all of their DNS servers have also been seized. It remains to be seen if they will go back online with new domains or if they will fade away into nothingness.

Thing is: .onion domain names don't use DNS. The Tor network, itself, takes care of routing. The browser doesn't learn the site's IP address, and the site doesn't learn the browser's IP address.

With the Tor Browser, you can access Z-Library at this URL.

In related news: The Imperial Library of Trantor is having severe problems. Some weeks ago it went down. Then it returned, but with no books in its catalog (It had hundreds of thousands.) Today, the server is down again. The librarian there has a name that might be Russian, so Putin's government might be the problem. Here's the Imperial Library's URL.

Maybe its down because he's restoring his collection. Or maybe the truth is worse than that.


The Free Book Library on I2P is still up, but it hasn't added any new books since September 19, 2021.

You need to be running I2P to access this site.

#Books | Last of the Mohicans

'"The Spirit that made men colored them differently," commenced the subtle Huron. "Some are blacker than the sluggish bear. These He said would be slaves; and He ordered them to work forever, like the beaver. You may hear them groan, when the south wind blows, louder than the lowing buffaloes, along the shores of the great salt lake, where the big canoes come and go with them in droves. Some He made with faces paler than the ermine of the forests: and these He ordered to be traders; dogs to their women, and wolves to their slaves. He gave this people the nature of the pigeon: wings that never tire; young, more plentiful than the leaves on the trees, and appetites to devour the earth. He gave them tongues like the false call of the wild-cat; hearts like rabbits; the cunning of the hog (but none of the fox), and arms longer than the legs of the moose. With his tongue, he stops the ears of the Indians; his heart teaches him to pay warriors to fight his battles; his cunning tells him how to get together the goods of the earth; and his arms inclose the land from the shores of the salt-water to the islands of the great lake. His gluttony makes him sick. God gave him enough, and yet he wants all. Such are the palefaces.' ~ "Last of the Mohicans: A Narrative of 1757" by James Fenimoore Cooper
