Which books are included in the Christian Old Testament, and are they included in entirety? Also, are there English translations available online and if so, where can I find them?

NOBODY knows where to find the Jewish holy books? Torah and Talmud. Are there any others?

Jewish holy books? The Torah is the only set of books considered to be from HaShem. Further to this there are the Kittuvim and the Nevim, which with Torah are collectively refered to as Tanakh. This is what many Christians name the Old Testament, Jews cannot call it by this name as that would mean that we recognise a Newer Testament. With the Tanakh we explore the legal decisions of the rabbis of HaAretz and Babylonia in the two Talmudim. There is also the stories of the rabbis, the Mishnah and the countless Midrashim. It is true that Orthodoxy accounts the sacred canon to be closed (a decision of the rabbis at Yavneh), but many Jews see the action of HaShem in many works of human endeavour, literature, poetry and many other literary and visual arts.
Charles Dickens stopped publishing when he died, should G-d not also keep publishing?
G-d Bless and Shalom.
