Gankutsuou (anime)

Gankutsuou is the anime adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' "The Count of Monte Cristo." 

Caesar's "Gallic War Commentaries" appear in a dream sequence in episode 3. 


The title is in Latin, so I assume the book is supposed to be in Latin. But there is one problem: it’s too thick to have only Latin text in it. 

Here’s the Loeb edition for comparison, which contains both Latin and English texts:


It also includes an introduction, indexes, maps, etc. Here's the table of contents

"The Gallic War" with only Latin text would be at least half thinner.
