Good collection for understanding whether it would be interesting to record a book you found. Because I usually don't like to read the book twice.

Thank you!

I've always liked the idea of hearing a first chapter before purchasing the book.

Todd, we will need to add this author to the database, please.

The wiki link looks strange, but it does work.

And another; technically, the recording is just section one (of three) from chapter one, but I think it gives a taste of the author's style.

The wiki link looks strange, but it does work.

It is because the Cyrillic letters in the link were turned into a code.

Ah. I thought that might be it.

Shall I PL the chapter for sound or shall we look for a native speaker?

[ShiNeko]

Shall I PL the chapter for sound or shall we look for a native speaker?

I don't mind either way.

I understood not a word, but I could feel the emotion! Well done!

I understood not a word, but I could feel the emotion! Well done!

Thanks! Had to be hard to listen to 20+ minutes audio without understanding.

Here's the opening chapter of a classical Polish novel in the English translation
https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/fcc010_knightsofthecross_sienkiewicz_pn81_128kb.mp3 duration 24:08

Title: The Knights of the Cross
Duration 24:08
Link: https://archive.org/details/knightscrossork01siengoog/page/n9/mode/1up?view=theater
Author: Henryk Sienkiewicz
Translator: Samuel A. Binion
Key words: novel, Poland, war

It will probably sound confusing to an English-speaking listener. That's OK, I was confused too I had to resort to reading historical footnotes in the Polish text to understand who was fighting whom asit sounded illogical to me at first. We actually read it in school at the age of 10 or 11, but I don't remember much beyond the most famous details. Also, for some reason the translator decided to leave certain words in the text itself untranslated putting the translations into the footnotes instead. I figured reading the footnotes at the end of the relavant sentence could make them too detached, so instead I embedded the footnotes into the sentences straight after the untranslated word. Let me know how it sounds.
