Literature exploration for curious minds
We don’t summarize books. We dissect them.
BookNatomy is a study companion for great books: side-by-side modern translations, spaced-repetition flashcards, in-character AI, chapter-synced audio, and a 77-dimension Book DNA for finding what to read next. A new book breakdown joins the library every day.
What you get
Reading
Side-by-side Plain Read
Every pre-1900 classic ships with a modern-English rewrite, paragraph by paragraph. Toggle between the original and a plain version inside the reader, so Shakespeare and Dickens stop being a wall.
Study
Flashcards and quizzes that actually stick
Spaced-repetition decks for vocabulary, quotes, characters, and symbols resurface on schedule. Per-chapter quizzes give instant feedback. Your streak follows you once you sign in.
AI
Talk to the characters
Chat with Hermione, Napoleon, or Atticus in their own voice. Put a character on trial, rewrite a scene with What If, or let the essay coach ask the questions instead of writing your sentences for you.
Audio
Listen, with the words following along
Chapter audio highlights each paragraph as it's read, with lock-screen controls. Every public-domain book is also a podcast you can subscribe to in Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
Analysis
Themes, symbols, and critical lenses
Characters, themes, symbols, vocabulary, key quotes, and Marxist-to-Feminist critical readings for every title. Spoiler-aware, so nothing gets ruined before you've read there.
Discovery
Find your next book by feel
A 77-dimension Book DNA powers trait sliders for pace, darkness, humor, and complexity, plus a streaming feed of read-alikes. Discovery you won't get from a plain summary site.
For students
Read with help when a passage stumps you, study for the test on a schedule that works, and dig into themes and essays without spoiling the ending. Your progress saves so you can pick up where you left off.
For teachers
Create a class, share an invite link, and watch reading progress, annotations, and quiz scores roll in. Lock the AI or analysis sections per book when you want students focused on the text itself.
Free to start. A new book lands tomorrow, and the day after that.
