[Corpora-List] Parallel fiction/essay corpus?

[Jin-Dong Kim]

I believe the language resources from Multext-East project
(http://nl.ijs.si/ME/) would meet your need.
The base text of the resources is from 1984 by George Orwell, and the
resourecs include translations for 6 european languages and english as
the hub language.

All the best,

Jin-Dong Kim
