Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship Volume 2, by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832), translated by Thomas Carlyle (1795 - 1881)
This is the second half of the novel by Goethe (the first half, Volume 1, has been recorded separately).
It describes the completion of Meister's development as a person in the world (Summary by Peter Tucker)
Source text (please read only from this text!): https://archive.org/details/wilhelmmeistersa0002goet/page/n9/mode/2up

Target completion date: 2024-08-31

Prooflistening level: Standard
Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded 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!

As recording of Volume 1 of this novel is nearing completion, I am launching Volume 2.
Volume 1 has been BCed by brownrottger and PLed by Newgatenovelist.
I was thinking we'd keep the same team for Volume 2 if it's ok with everyone.
