Thank you Christine as always! Onwards..... and as Peeperkorn would say, 'Very good. Very.... Settled!'

Dear Christine

Here is S33 - Mann in cerebral top gear - 26.01 minutes chasing the twists and turns of some pretty abstract syntax.

Hope it is not too arduous to listen to!

Thanks!

You are right, Christine, but I just hope I don't meet any of those other guests...

Thank you Christine - Phew again! - I have just finished this morning the raw recording of S33, another epic narration with Naphta, Settembrini and Peeperkorn all loudly on display and I suspect i shall need a place at a Swiss Sanatorium at the end of this journey!!!

Sections 31 and 32 duly re-uploaded and all is well (I hope!). On narrators of novels who offer asides directly to the reader about their storytelling there is no one better than Anthony Trollope who indulges in it usually for humorous purposes, though sometimes to excess!

I'm confusing myself with my different uploads (Mynheer Peeperkorn's psyche taking me over!). Should have it all sorted by tomorrow, plus adding the 'part one' to 32..... watch this space!! And thanks for bearing with me....
Best Steve

Dear Christine
I have revised section 31 and re-uploaded - and also here is Section 32 (24.45) and the continuing saga of Mynheer Peeperkorn (phew! - it lasts another fifty pages!)

Ah! Thank you Christine - I will make those adjustments, I start my recording these days at around 6.30am (to avoid traffic noise) which might just have something to do with that error!!

Hi Christine, her is section 31, and the finale of Peeperkorn's midnight festivities. (26.28)

Best wishes Steve

Yes, Christine, Claudia has something of the Hollywood vamp about her... a perfect role for Marlene Dietrich?! On the menu & wine cellar at the Berghof I suspect that their catering arrangements may have something to do with the enormous fees (bribes?) paid to the institution by the clientele......

Dear Christine S30 herewith. I hope this section is as enjoyable to listen to as it was to read and edit: a lively and entertaining three-hander scene between Hans, Claudia and Peeperkorn... (24.33) Best wishes - and happy Easter to you and Anne! Steve https://librivox.org/uploads/annise/magicmounti...

That does makes sense

Now taken down the S29 volume and re-uploaded!

I will tweek down the volume post haste! The Vol 1 Claudia is a pretty thoroughgoing Hollywood femme fatale, the crashing of the door behind her as she enters the dining room is one of the many tour de force moments in the first three hundred pages of the novel. As you may also have gathered the Hof...

Dear Christine, here is Section 29 at 23.12. Two new faces in the story! The return of Claudia, whom you will know well if you have visited Volume 1 - and a new character, Peeperkorn whom I awaited with trepidation as his personality is very idiosyncratic. In the end I adopted an understated voice f...
