Dunno. But I love those Esperanto versions of world classics, e.g. Alice in the wonderland, the Republic, the little prince, etc. However I think it wouldn't be a good idea to use lojban translation of those works to promote/enhance people's understanding about lojban, 'cause there are many idiomorphic and much more paronyms between Esperanto and European languages. People learn more words and expressions while reading those well-known books. Anyway. -- "勞動好不好？群眾歡不歡迎？"
