Re: ( solo) Argonauts of the Western Pacific by Bronisław Malinowski

Back to the beginnings. Section 0 has been uploaded. The audio quality is different in the preface than in the foreword and acknowledgements because after recording the former I put my mic in a different place to do some preliminary editing comfortably and then forgot to place the mic back in its fo...

Re: [Group] Great Events in the History of North and South America, by Charles Goodrich - lt

Can I have 81, i.e West Indies? Sure thing! Thanks, and happy reading! I've just recorded my section and will submit it soon. Quite interesting! One question, the text proper of this section (and presumably all the others) is preceded by short list of contents-type fragment. Do you want me to keep ...

On today's Main Page I clicked on the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_literature link, which describes a sub-genre of fiction that was thriving towards the end of XIX century, when the continental Europe apparently lived in fear o...
