Ch. 10 is beautiful now in that stretch, marked to PL OK.

and speaking of oranges being plentiful - I've been eating 3-6 every day the past three weeks.

I put 12 into the MW so I could load it on my queue. I hope that's alright with you that I messed with the MW that way.

Of course, thanks for tidying up

Chapter 12 is PL OK :thumbs:

and, "Wow!" That was a riveting chapter.

More so than some of them! Some of them have been difficult to get through

Chapter 13 is PL OK

Whoop!

Hi, Adrian! It seems this project doesn't want to see you go!

The link in the MW takes me to a version that still has the truncated words with a file length of 40:41. The link you sent me in my LV inbox while Legamus was down is good to go, with a file length of 42:00. How do we get that version into this slot? Once it's there, 14 will be PL OK, but it's not the version that's actively linked from the project.

Hello! Is it this file?
https://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/ ... orwell.mp3
Then we can just edit the MW to update it.
Forum and blog got switched to the new server on April 4th, but uploader and MW had already moved a week earlier. I hope everything works as expected?

Hi, Viktor - That links to the original file that needed fixing. The edited file is 42:00 long.

Then it must be this one:
https://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/ ... orwell.mp3

I have uploaded another version of 42 minutes because the waveform looked a bit low for a third of the whole. Can you try it Lynette please? https://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/ ... orwell.mp3

Hi, Adrian and Viktor - This link for Section 14 in this post is really lovely and PL OK :thumbs:

But the link in the MW still takes me to the old version. I've cleared my cache, refreshed the page, and it's still the old version with truncated words here and there, length 40:51 instead of 42:00.

The MW is not connected to the uploader. Any information in the MW only shows up after someone enters it
I just put the latest link from Adrian and the 42:00 length into the MW.

Oh! Thanks, Viktor

Section 14 is PL OK now

So that's a wrap for Adrian - this makes a really good audiobook!

Congratulations!

Do you have a cover picture in mind? If you find a suitable image - Public Domain, or some Creative Commons licenses may work - then I'll be happy to put some text over it.

Viktor, would this Creative Commons image from Wikipedia be suitable?

Unfortunately not! It is not Creative Commons but "Fair Use", with details:

The book cover art copyright is believed to belong to Secker and Warburg - Modified version of http://www.baumanrarebooks.com/rare-boo ... 85809.aspx. It is believed that the cover art can or could be obtained from Secker and Warburg.

We cannot assume that everyone who contributed to a 1938 book cover has died before 1953 (in order to be in the life+70 Public Domain today).

On a minor note, the best would be a square image (or something that, with the adding of titles, can be made square).

Maybe an art work about the Spanish Civil War, like this?
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File ... Frente.jpg
or a photograph from
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Civil_War
?

Thank you Viktor! I like the art work https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File ... Frente.jpg

Let's use that one

As the final cover image should be square, and one wants neither to obscure the planes at the top nor the corpses at the bottom, I put the title to the left. Please check if you like it this way, and if everything else is good:

The text is fine. I know war is a sombre subject, but could we lighten up the picture as it’s difficult to make out (at least with my eyes)?
