The Memoirs of Francois Rene Vicomte de Chateaubriand Volume II by François-René de Chateaubriand (1768 - 1848). Translated by Alexander Teixeira de Mattos (1865 - 1921)

This project is now complete. All audio files can be found on our catalog page here:

Volume II of Chateaubriand's Memoirs from Beyond the Tomb, translated by Teixeira de Mattos. This volume covers the period from his return to France to fight, reluctantly, for the King, his early literary successes with many portraits of the great and the good, including Napoleon, through to his travels in the Near East in the first decade of the 19th century, all told with his characteristic blend of mordant wit and melancholy.

  • Text source (only read from this text!): http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/54788
  • Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard



    IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
    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!

I'd love to DPL!
Will you be recording just "Part the Second" of this volume? I see it covers from 1800, almost where we left off in the previous audio-book.

thanks everyone. I thought I would just do the whole book, even though it does overlap with the previous project, just so it is a complete version of the book that is in project gutenberg. Noted re the intro, outro and filenames.

Both parts of Book 7 are PL OK!

While the translation is quite different, the author's way of writing comes through just as vivid, if not even more so!

Hi Nicole!

I have a couple of PL notes for Book 9:
I noticed a short repetition, around 44:00 "beneath a cedar of Lebanon"
and, around 48:01-48:25 is the intro of what would be part 2 of Book 9 and can be deleted.
