Hi tovarisch,

Sections 32 through 37 are PL OK! That's it!

A great job with this project, and your efforts made DPL quite easy and pleasant. This was my first exposure to Goncharov. The book, and especially your reading, was very enjoyable.

I noticed that you are embarking on the original Russian version. While I look forward to working with you again, I am certain that my one semester of the Russian language, during college, many decades ago, does not qualify me for the DPL role.

@icequeen,
As always, I was happy to see us on the same team again.

Thank you both,
Don

Thank you, Don, for your work.

As it turns out, M.Bryant, the translator of Goncharov's novel, really cut quite a few corners. The result is a seriously abridged version of the original... Too bad, of course, but what can we do? I didn't find another translation...

Not going to DPL the original?

Well, perhaps you will entertain yourself by listening to Obryv after it's done.

Thanks again!
