Important note - please read carefully:
The information presented on this website about works entering the public domain are based on a rough "life plus seventy years" computation. This is certainly wrong for some jurisdictions and/or for some types of work (see, for instance, this list.) Moreover, the fact that the works of a given author are in the public domain in a jurisdiction does NOT mean (unfortunately) that those works are also public domain in other jurisdictions. If you need to be sure about the status of a given work, check your national copyright law and, if needed, a lawyer. This website does not in any way offer legal advice or services.
