FULL MULTILINGUAL] Multilingual Poetry Collection 020 - lz

LibriVox Multilingual Poetry Collection Volume 020
This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: http://librivox.org/multilingual-poetry-collection-020-by-various/

This collection is for poetry in any language. Feel free to choose any poem which is in the public domain. If you're unsure what we mean by 'public domain', please read this explanation.

Each reader should not submit more than two poems in the same language (per volume). It's fine if we have several readers submitting poems in the same language. It's also fine if the same reader submits poems in more than one language. It's also OK to submit readings in English (English being a language, I figure), but as there are plenty of other places to put those, let's limit them to special cases such as interesting regional dialects or accents.

If you are interested to see what has been done previously, check the previous Multilingual Poetry Collections in our catalog (but we welcome multiple versions of the same poem).

Hi

Here's a linked pair of items - two of the many translations of the Lewis Carroll poem Jabberwocky. Both translations are by people personally connected with the author, so unlike other versions they are undoubtedly PD.

1) Macaronic Latin
Title - Gaberbocchus
Translator - Hassard H Dodgson (1803-1884), uncle of Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, 1832-1898)
Text URL - http://www.archive.org/stream/lewiscarrollpic00carrgoog#page/n384/mode/2up
MP3 URL - http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/lz/latin_gaberbocchus_dodgson_mg.mp3
Duration – 03:16

2) German
Title - Der Jammerwoch
Translator - Robert Scott (1811-1887) - joint editor of the Liddell & Scott Greek Lexicon (Liddell being the father of the real-life Alice)
Text URL - http://www.archive.org/stream/lewiscarrollpic00carrgoog#page/n386/mode/2up
MP3 URL - http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/lz/german_jammerwoch_scott_mg.mp3
Duration – 02:29

All the best

Martin

Thank you all!

Masa, the ID tags for your recording are missing, but that can be fixed during cataloguing

Moving to Short Works!

Kristin, thank you, both readings are great!

Masa, the recording is OK, but is there any info about the publication of the poem? As the author died in 1933, the poem may have been published after 1923, and in that case it's not PD in the USA. Maybe there's some info about that on the text page?

ekzemplaro · Post by **ekzemplaro** » January 21st, 2012, 6:16 pm

Hello Dii san,

Let me explain about copy rights about Japanese Authors.

I got this information when I entered in LibriVox.

http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Information_about_copyright_rules#Japan

>> Japan
>> Literary works of Japanese origin whose authors died on or before 31st
>> December 1955 are in the public domain in the United States.

As Miyazawa Kenji is a Japanese, all his works are in the public domain in U.S.

I've also found out the information about this poetry at the English Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ame_ni_mo_Makezu

Chees,

Masa

http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/lz/polish_panitwardowska_mickiewicz_pn.mp3

Title: "Pani Twardowska"
Author: Adam Mickiewicz (1798-1855)
Link to the source: http://www.wolnelektury.pl/katalog/lektura/ballady-i-romanse-pani-twardowska/
Durantion: 4:28

I've been struggling with background noise in my recordings for some time. There's quite a bit of it here too, but I hope it's bearable.
The poem itself is a funny variation on the theme of a clever man outsmarting the devil
