CHAPTER I.
You don’t know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; but that ain’t no matter. That book was made by Mr. Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainly. There was things which he stretched, but mainly he told the truth. That is nothing. I never seen anybody but lied one time or a...

CHAPTER I.
Now the way that the book winds up is this: Tom and me found the money that the robbers hid in the cave, and it made us rich. We got six thousand dollars apiece—all gold. It was an awful sight of money when it was piled up. Well, Judge Thatcher he took it and put it out at interest, and it fetched us a dollar a day api...

CHAPTER I.
The widow she cried over me, and called me a poor lost lamb, and she called me a lot of other names, too, but she never meant no harm by it. She put me in them new clothes again, and I couldn’t do nothing but sweat and sweat, and feel all cramped up. Well, then, the old thing commenced again. The widow rung a bell for ...

CHAPTER I.
After supper she got out her book and learned me about Moses and the Bulrushers, and I was in a sweat to find out all about him; but by-and-by she let it out that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then I didn’t care no more about him, because I don’t take no stock in dead people.

CHAPTER I.
Pretty soon I wanted to smoke, and asked the widow to let me. But she wouldn’t. She said it was a mean practice and wasn’t clean, and I must try to not do it any more. That is just the way with some people. They get down on a thing when they don’t know nothing about it. Here she was a-bothering about Moses, which was n...

CHAPTER I.
Her sister, Miss Watson, a tolerable slim old maid, with goggles on, had just come to live with her, and took a set at me now with a spelling-book. She worked me middling hard for about an hour, and then the widow made her ease up. I couldn’t stood it much longer. Then for an hour it was deadly dull, and I was fidgety....

Now she had got a start, and she went on and told me all about the good place. She said all a body would have to do there was to go around all day long with a harp and sing, forever and ever.

Miss Watson she kept pecking at me, and it got tiresome and lonesome. By-and-by they fetched the niggers in and had prayers, and then everybody was off to bed.

CHAPTER I.
I set down again, a-shaking all over, and got out my pipe for a smoke; for the house was all as still as death now, and so the widow wouldn’t know. Well, after a long time I heard the clock away off in the town go boom—boom—boom—twelve licks; and all still again—stiller than ever. Pretty soon I heard a twig snap down i...

We went tiptoeing along a path amongst the trees back towards the end of the widow’s garden, stooping down so as the branches wouldn’t scrape our heads. When we was passing by the kitchen I fell over a root and made a noise. We scrouched down and laid still. Miss Watson’s big nigger, named Jim, was setting in the kitch...

Tom he made a sign to me—kind of a little noise with his mouth—and we went creeping away on our hands and knees.

📚 GutenQA-Paragraphs

GutenQA-Paragraphs consists on the same 100 Public Domain Narrative Books used in GutenQA. In this version, passages are extracted at the paragraph level.
The GutenQA dataset, as available, is the result of applying the text segmentation method LumberChunker to the GutenQA-Paragraphs.

The dataset is organized into the following columns:

  • Book Name: The title of the book from which the passage is extracted.
  • Book ID: A unique integer identifier assigned to each book.
  • Chunk ID: An integer identifier for each chunk of the book. Chunks are listed in the sequence they appear in the book.
  • Chapter: The name(s) of the chapter(s) from which the chunk is derived. If LumberChunker merged paragraphs from multiple chapters, the names of all relevant chapters are included.
  • Chunk: Each row contains a book passage which, in this dataset, is a single paragraph.

🤝 Compatibility

GutenQA-Paragraph serves as the foundational data to apply different segmentation methods, such as:

🔧 Loading the Dataset. 

import pandas as pd
dataset = pd.read_parquet("hf://datasets/LumberChunker/GutenQA_Paragraphs/GutenQA_paragraphs.parquet")

# Filter the DataFrame to show only rows with the specified book name
single_book_chunks = dataset[dataset['Book Name'] == 'A_Christmas_Carol_-_Charles_Dickens'].reset_index(drop=True)
