Don Quijote, Volume 1 by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra.
I've started a proof-listening thread here: http://librivox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8228 - please help out if you can.
- How to claim a part, and 'how it all works' here
To find a section to record, simply look at point 4. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Post a reply and tell us which one you'd like to read (include the blue number, please). Read sections 5. to 7. below for what to do before, during and after your recording. - What is the deadline?
31 May 2007, but please send your files as soon as possible. - Where do I find the text?
Complete Gutenberg e-text, comprising volumes 1 and 2: http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/2000 - Please claim section numbers (the blue numbers)
