300 chapters already !!! and nearly 70 more to go. It's really epic proportions. And I'm glad I got to know the book that way. I would probably never have read it for myself.

Have you planed any other huge masterpieces of the Russian literature ?

And section 36 and 37 are PL ok. Thanks.

ah yes, is this the company that Pierre is in ? I completely forgot about that :lol: Those guerilla methods were quite adventureous.

Sections 38-43 PL ok. :thumbs:

A bit of French edits for 44:

> at 1:09: "lanciers du sixième" - you say "six-me", but this abbreviation is pronounced "sixième" /seez-yem/
> at 1:44: "ne demandent pas" - you say "demandons" - in the 3rd person plural, the "ent" is silent /demand/

and wow you have been busy while I was away :shock: Will try to get a few more in tonight...

Pierre is saved, hurrah ! But poor Petya is killed :( The reckless way he went about all this, I was not surprised when a bullet hit him, to be honest. :?

Sections 45-47 PL ok.

one edit for Section 48:

> at 0:01: "book 14 chapter 13" - you say "chapter 14"

Oh and the story told at the campfire of the merchant who was sent to Siberia for a murder he did not commit sounded so familiar to me. I remember I read a short story by Tolstoy about this exact incident, here: https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/13437/pg13437-images.html#link2H_4_0007 He was plagiarizing from himself :lol:

48 and 59 PL ok. Tolstoy is really no admirer of Napoleon :lol:

one more edit for 44:

> at 1:08: "lanciers du sixième" - I hear this echoed by the old version, and it's very low in volume

thanks

Apparently somebody (we may never know for sure who) recorded two pickups but only made one edit. I will be launching a formal inquiry.
