~ GROUP (FRENCH): Les Quatrains d'Omar Khayyam, Traduction de Charles Grolleau

[Leylakatam]

Les Quatrains d'Omar Khayyam, (1048 - 1131), traduction de Charles Grolleau (1867 - 1940)

La traduction en prose de Charles Grolleau des quatrains d'Omar Khayyam est caractérisée par sa fidélité au sens original des poèmes. Grolleau cherche à rendre le contenu de manière claire et directe, sans la poésie romantique ajoutée par FitzGerald. Son approche en prose offre une interprétation plus littérale des quatrains, mettant l'accent sur la simplicité et la compréhension du message de Khayyam. Grolleau privilégie la précision et la transparence dans sa traduction, permettant aux lecteurs de saisir les pensées et les idées du poète persan sans la couche supplémentaire de romantisme présente dans d'autres versions. (Summary by Leyla Katam)

Note à la future MC: il y a 158 quatrains + l'introduction. Il serait probablement plus agréable pour les auditeurs si chaque lecteur ou lectrice lisait au moins une dizaine de quatrains d'affilé. Je ne suis pas certaine de la meilleure façon de représenter ceci dans la proposition du projet alors, je laisse à votre discrétion Au plaisir de collaborer !!

Hi!

I think this has sat in the Launch Pad for a few days without an MC, because we're really scared to have a relatively new member coordinate a group project, especially one that is so long!

We really prefer that BCs have more experience under their belt, working within the Magic Window as a DPL or soloist, and/or having done a lot more group project recordings. This demonstrates (1) that the BC knows the systems and how to effectively manage the project; and (2) that they're going to stay for the length of time it takes to finish the project (a non-English one like this, with this many sections, could take up to 2 years to complete).

Here's a wiki page that talks about becoming a BC: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=How_To_Become_A_Book_Coordinator

I'm going to move this to the on-hold section for now, until you get some more experience under your belt.
