Jeanne D'Arc: Her Life And Death by Mrs. Oliphant .


All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/jeanne-darc-her-life-and-death-by-margaret-o-oliphant/

The story of Jeanne d'Arc, or Joan of Arc , has passed into folklore and has been retold by many. The young teenager was sent by an as-yet uncrowned Charles VII of France to relieve Orleans from siege during the 100 Years' War with England, following visions she claimed to have received. After just nine days, she led the French army to victory and was subsequently burned at the stake for heresy. Later cleared of all charges, she was canonized in 1920. ( Lynne Thompson)

• 1. How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
  2. New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
  3. Is there a deadline? We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen.Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.

Hi and welcome to Librivox!
There are a few things to do before you get started.
You will need to complete a one minute test - this is to check your specs are up to Librivox standards, and if not, you'll be given hints on how to remedy that. http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/1-Minute_Test
Please post your test in the Listeners Wanted forum (see the dropdown at the bottom of the page) for the speediest response. Waiting for the OK may seem tedious, but can save time in the long run.
You will also need to be added to the catalog of readers. I will add you using your forum name once you let me know you have completed your test, but if you prefer your real name or a pseudonym let me know. We can also link to a personal blog or website. Be sure to read the first post - all the info you need is there, but if anything doesn't make sense, just ask. The wiki (see the top of the page) has bundles of info too.

That would be great!

[Lynnet]

I have uploaded section 22.

[elsieselwyn]

Sorry for the long wait. Section 22 is PL OK

[Lynnet]

Sorry for the long wait. Section 22 is PL OK

Not a problem.
A) it’s only me (I’m not going anywhere... sometimes we are concerned a reader will disappear before edits are identified)
B) it’s not holding up the project (if it were the last section, I’d be chomping at the bit to get it in the catalog )

[Ellaqyint]

Also, once section 2 passes, I'll gladly snatch up the first section and take one at a time until someone else wants to jump in, or completion. Assuming I didn't hack the french language into the realm of brutal humiliation
