Впервые опубликованный в 1869-м году в журнале «Вестник Европы», роман «Обрыв» как бы завершает «трилогию» о переходном периоде в русской жизни (две предыдущие книги - «Обыкновенная История» и «Обломов») и стал последним большим произведением Гончарова. Героем романа является «светский человек» Борис Павлович Райский. Основные события повествования разворачиваются на фоне отживания элементов патриархального быта и прихода «новых сил». Написан роман был с перерывами в течение двадцати лет и сам Гончаров называл его «дитя моего сердца».
Роман был воспринят очень по-разному читающей публикой и критиками. Рецензии и отзывы были зачастую отрицательными; роман критиковали как за стиль, так и за неновизну темы, за атаку на «новых людей». Несмотря на реакцию критики, роман заслуженно занимает важное место в русской литературе второй половины XIX века. (tovarisch, по мотивам статьи Википедии)

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated). Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!
The reader will record the following at the beginning and end of each file:
No more than 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of the recording! START of recording (Intro):
"Иван Гончаров, Обрыв. Эта запись сделана для проекта ЛибриВокс. Все записи ЛибриВокс являются общественным достоянием. Для справок и помощи проекту пожалуйста посетите сетевую страницу librivox ТОЧКА org."
If you wish, say:
"Запись сделал(а) [Ваше имя], [город, блог, веб-сайт]"
Say: "Иван Александрович Гончаров. Обрыв. Часть первая, глава первая"
For the second and all subsequent sections, you may optionally use the shortened form of this intro disclaimer:
"Иван Гончаров. Обрыв. Часть [№], глава [№]. Эта запись ЛибриВокс является общественным достоянием."
If you wish, say:
"Запись сделал(а) [Ваше имя], [город, блог, веб-сайт]"
END of recording:
At the end of the section, say: "Конец главы [№]"
If you wish, say: "Запись сделал(а) [Ваше имя], [город, блог, веб-адрес]"
At the end of the book, say (in addition): "Конец книги Обрыв, Иван Александрович Гончаров."
There should be ~5 seconds silence at the end of the recording.

You'll need to select the MC, which for this project is: icequeen
When your upload is complete, you will receive a link - please post it in this thread.
Yes, this is not a mistake, it's going to have 102 sections.
Part 1 has 18 chapters
Part 2 has 22 chapters
Part 3 has 23 chapters
Part 4 has 14 chapters
Part 5 has 25 chapters -- total 102 sections.
I'll start recording tomorrow, probably, to see how it goes. If I manage to do 2 sections a week (doable, I think), it will take me a year to finish, but I have put August of 2020 as the finish date.
There are about 1000 pages total, meaning that each section, on average, occupies 10 pages, and given that I can read at the rate of about 2 minutes per page, we're looking on 20 minute sections. I think it reasonable.

reality prompts me to scale down my reading, sorry to say to PLers: do correct my pronunciation please
Your MW is up and ready for you! I am assuming that we don't have a DPL already, so we will wait here a couple of days to see if we can pick one up. If not, we can advertise for one. I don't mind how long it will take you to finish the project, just as long as you are enjoying the text.
Thanks, Ann. I hope I didn't overtax you with "The Precipice"...
Finding a DPL may be a challenge -- we don't have many members who speak Russian, let alone read it (if need check with the text), and this project is quite a commitment...
ETA: I've put all section titles in the MW and edited the first post a bit (to make it nicer )

Oh no, not overtaxed! It is so easy to handle these projects when I am not also taking on DPL duties! I figured I might as well take this one one since I MC'ed the one in English. Makes for a certain amount of continuity!
We can wait as long as we need to for a DPL, I will go ahead and advertise for one, just in case we get a mad rush of Russian speakers signing up for volunteering at LibriVox and they have a love for this book!
Lovely, thanks, Ann.
