Okay, you already know that I have very. . .uh. . . catholic, that's it, catholic interests. So, you won't be surprised by what follows. This is some of the most exciting stuff I've seen in a while.
First off, a a complete translation of the Babylonian Talmud, one of the major tractates in the Talmudic literature.
The Seidenstricker Translation of The Tale of Genji by Lady Murasaki (the answer to the guess what/who of the other day). Seidenstricker is a reknowned expert on Japanese History and Civilization, having written several books on the topic.
An online translation of La Vita Nuova
Fifty essays of George Orwell, that is officially inaccessible from the United States, so you'll have to go and look for it at Australia Gutenberg. This collection includes his famous defense of P.G.

Some true apocryphal New Testament works along with some Anti-Catholic diatribe and some early noncanonical espistles.
