Multilingual Short Works Collection 021 - Poetry & Prose

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/multilingual-short-works-collection-021-poetry-prose-by-various/


This collection is for short works, in any language except (modern) English. This can include poetry but also prose, fiction as well as non-fiction.
Feel free to choose any work which is in the public domain. If you're unsure what we mean by 'public domain', please read this explanation. Try to stick to works that run less than 60 minutes.
Please follow the instructions in this post carefully. :) There is no need to "sign-up" before recording; please remember that you should choose a work that is Public Domain in your country AND that was published before 1923; if you are unsure about anything, please post here and ask before recording!


Everyone can contribute as many recordings as he/she wants.
It's 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 Collections in our catalog (but we welcome multiple versions of the same work).


Prospective Prooflisteners: Please read the Listeners Wanted FAQ before listening! Level of prooflistening requested: standard


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!

Salut Christiane

super, que tu veuilles contribuer encore une fois dans cette compilation :9:
Une Section avec deux chapitres de Jacques de VORAGINE, 1228-1298,
sur la Toussaint 1erNovembre, et aussi le 2Novembre,
tirés de "La Légende dorée", recueil de textes de légendes et de textes de tradition catholique,
vous intéresse-t-il, dans cette Compilation?
j'ai chequé le lien pour le livre et il est bien dans le domaine publique, ainsi que les auteurs, donc oui, tu peux les enregistrer pour cette collection.

Une bonne suggestion serait de les faire dans deux fichiers séparés au lieu de seulement un. Ce sont des légendes différentes si je vois bien, donc on devrait les traiter comme deux textes séparés, si tu es d'accord avec ceci. :)

Sonia
I will be on vacation from Wednesday 27 March till Sunday 14 April

Oui, en deux sections, pas de souci !

Merci de penser à faire les liens en page, par auteur...

Je pourrai en faire d’autres.

Bon week-end!

Salut chère Sonia,
voici les deux MP3.

VORAGINE, 1 nov page 603, 2 nov page 608
Toussaint, 11’36
Jour des âmes, 19’12

https://librivox.org/uploads/icequeen/msw021_Legende_doree_Toussaint_Voragine_chj_128kb.mp3

https://librivox.org/uploads/icequeen/msw021_Legende_doree_Jour_Ames_Voragine_chj_128kb.mp3

J’espère que ça ira.

Merci bien pour le lien de Maupassant- « Enragée ? », en page Maupassant.
Je ne crois pas qu’il y ait déjà Jacques de Voragine en Catalogue, espérons que ça intéressera.


A bientôt,
et bonne fin de journée!
Bien amicalement :)
Christiane.

merci pour tes sections, Christiane, je vais les chequer après.

Juste une formalité: le nom de fichier ne doit jamais contenir des lettres en majuscule et doit être en un seul mot (c'est aussi marqué dans le template: "Put file name all in lower case, the title all in one word, drop articles")

pas besoin de changer pour le moment, s'il n'y a pas de fautes textuelles, Ann pourra changer le nom de fichier dans son archive. On verra ça après.

Tu pourrais encore me donner deux ou trois mots-clés pour qualifier le texte, s'il te plaît ?

à bientôt

Sonia
