Hello all!
I am wondering if any English books have been translated into Setswana? As an English-speaker trying to learn Tswana, I thought it might help me to read something side-by-side in both languages. Any book will do, although a classic like Moby Dick would be ideal

Not going to lie, this would be an awesome idea, but Moby Dick for a landlocked desert country wouldn’t be an obvious first choice. Maybe the three musketeers?
That said, I’m a little disappointed that I couldn’t find a Tswana version of these:
