Re: solo [ENGLISH] The Guermantes Way by Marcel Proust - vik

I've two possible pronunciation notes for you: Section 43 35.18-35.24 ..."you are alluding to an order of nomenclature with which I have no concern. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/nomenclature Section 44 5.16-5.28 ...could not be essentially so heterogeneous to that of her...

Re: solo [ENGLISH] The Guermantes Way by Marcel Proust - vik

Sections 41 and 42 are spot PL OK. I'm not quite sure what will determine LV or Legamus for the next Proust. As far as I understand, if it's PD in the US it automatically goes to LV, and Legamus is (or perhaps was originally) intended for books in the odd hinterland of PD in Europe but not yet PD in...

Re: solo [ENGLISH] The Guermantes Way by Marcel Proust - vik

Section 39 is spot PL OK. Section 41 is PL OK. I feel I ought to mention that Checker is flagging it as having 'a moderate level of background noise' (41.7 dB, it usually starts flagging files at around 40 dB), especially as section 42's background noise is, according to Checker, 28.3 dB. (I have Ch...

Re: Welcome everybody!

Hi Viktor,

I can only try to imagine what you have to deal with as an admin. The arms race to get better and better spambots must feel like a never-ending battle, so I would like to thank you for dealing with all of it.

Re: Welcome everybody!

Hello! Is anyone active here? I would like to read this book for Legamus and was wondering if it’s acceptable: https://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks16/1600071h.html Hello Daria! Yes, Legamus is definitely active, but there just aren't that many readers compared to LV. I hope you like it here. It's a lot ...

Re: COMPLETE[ENG]The Gardener & The Burden - Rudyard Kipling-hok

It has very politely been brought to my attention that I did this under a more restrictive license. That was my mistake - I would like for it to be CC0, both here and (prospectively and eventually) on Librivox. To make it official, I hereby release this recording under a CC0 license.

Re: solo [ENGLISH] The Guermantes Way by Marcel Proust - vik

I have one optional pronunciation note for 39 - otherwise, entirely PL OK. 38.32-38.35 But the Duke was less erudite than arrogant. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/erudite The free Collins dictionary is saying there is a difference between the American English pronunciation (whi...

Re: solo [ENGLISH] The Guermantes Way by Marcel Proust - vik

I haven't the first idea of how influential Scott-Moncrief's translation was. Perhaps the Penguin translation was influenced by that, if other subsequent translations followed the same pattern. One pronunciation note for section 38: 42.32-42.37 ...she was so much made for marriage, so conjugal from ...

Re: solo [ENGLISH] The Guermantes Way by Marcel Proust - vik

Section 34 is spot PL OK. Section 35 is PL OK.

I'll be dipping in and out for 2-2.5 weeks in July, so if you do have another section to upload, please be aware that I've not vanished.

I hope you're generally keeping well and that life is treating you kindly.

I'm posting to say I've not forgotten about this, but Covid is taking a little bit longer to clear than I'd like. I'm out of office for the first part of May, but I'll come back to this project later.

Listener(s) for late Laurence Binyon poetry

If you like PLing, English-language poetry and are only familiar with Binyon's more famous First World War poems, this collection might introduce you to a different stage in his work as many of them are about WWII. At the risk of overselling such a short collection, his Wikipedia entry says that the...
