== Description: ==
The project uses the Pollen language, which is derived from Racket, to
programmatically reproduce classic works of literature, philosophy in various
formats including as a web-book, an EPUB3, and a printable PDF.
The books to be chosen are going to be in the public domain, freely available
on the internet already and can be reproduced within the law.
The cross-platform reach is accessible precisely because of the choice of
Racket, a dialect of Scheme. Pollen introduces X-expressions, a fundamental
data structure that covers the entirety of the program, and eventually the
entire book. Because the entire book is just a variant of s-expression, one
can extend it just using lisp.
