Ah, good to see someone gave this a bump. This translation thing is a good idea, but technically a minefield. And I reckon it will be rather difficult to find someone with the skills and time. Anyways, for more details you might want to go here: http://librivox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10502&po...

Well, I'm back. Had heaps of fun, but coming back was like returning from a day at the beach to the lower levels of Dante's Inferno in terms of climate and weather. Wanted to catch up with you guys earlier, but was slane down with the flu (50 degrees temperature difference), but now I am finally bac...

My word, the project has started and the DPL hasn't noticed ! especially since this idea grew on my dung heap. I was busy as a bee, as they say and almost forgot my own book suggestion. Sorry 'bewt that.

Anyway, reporting for duty !

Hallo Candide ? Ist das nicht diese haarsträubende Geschichte von dem Typ der von einem Schloss verjagt wird, in den Krieg zieht, beinahe gehängt wird, nach Südamerika flüchtet etc ? Dann kenn ich das Buch und melde mich als PL, evtl sogar als DPL. Als Referenz kann ich PL für The Faerie Queene von ...

G'day I am giving this a bump again, sorry 'bewt that, just to give you an update. The bloke who is supposed to help me is busy moving and apparently the new college season has just started, my request is not that high up on the food chain. I have been searching at the National Ditgital Archives of ...

Update Sorry for giving this a bump, but I actually found someone who might help us, one of me mates knows a college prof in New England who might help us clarify this once and for all, because I reckon this query will pop up every now and then as a topic or archive search (hello to the future !). I...

Fellow Librivoxees I for one love to listen to audiobooks (mostly Librivox, of course) while either cooking, eating or doing the dishes (and having a smoke aftwerwards) So, how about a cook book for a change ? British Librivoxers may be familiar with this one, apparenty this is a classic in the fiel...

Hi all I reckon it will be quite difficult to find a PD translation of Hagakure, I for one spent an evening searching for one and have failed thus far. The reasons can be found in the history of Japan of the last few centuries. Untill the 1850s, Japan was an isolated society, closed to the west. The...

PL for Canto 9

19:17
Yet did he murmure with rebellious sound
the word "rebellious" is slightly chopped due to editing, minor incident. No worries there.

Anne, if you need another hand just let me know.

G'day all Sorry for the delay, busy as a bee, new job, real life et cetera. You know how it goes :) As for The Voice in the Night: I didn't measure the rate of irregularities with a stop watch. I for one reckon we can give it a fair go, but the final desicion is of course up to you as MC. Lazarus: P...

G'day Anne, all

Do you by any chance need an hand in PL'ing ?

Time for some PL work: Terrible Old Man by HP Lovecraft. I have a feeling that this is not PD. This story was written in 1920, but first published in 1963 (in Durwich Horror). The Master is quite a strange case in terms of PD, some of his works are still under copyright, some are not. I reckon he wo...

Present at Hanging by Ambrose Bierce: According to the MW this needs a double-check. You want me to give it a close listen, Catherine ? Facts in the Case of M Valdemar by Poe General: A few minor plosives throughout, no harm done though 05:51 was also partially, if not thoroughly, ossified the words...
