LibriVox 10th Anniversary Collection

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/librivox-10th-anniversary-collection/
It's the time of year again when we start to think about the anniversary of LibriVox on August 10th. This year is the 10th anniversary of our illustrious community, and in keeping with the last few years, we invite readers to submit items with the number ten in the title ... dix... zhen... diez...dez... десять...δέκα... you get my drift? Non-fiction, fiction, poetry, songs: all are welcome, in any language and lasting less than 70 minutes, please. Let's start with 33 sections - with the intention of ending up with 100 ;).

Please use the special disclaimer (see note 1 below).

You are welcome to contribute as many as you wish, and there is no need to "sign-up" before recording as long as the work is clearly in the public domain (i.e. read from a source published in 1922 or earlier), but you are welcome to post here to state your intent or if you have a query about the PD status. You can record a story or poem that has been recorded for LibriVox before, but I'd rather not have more than one version within this collection, if possible.

There are some suggestions of things to record in the next post. All suggestions welcome, especially in languages other than English.

Ruth and MaryAnn are co-BCing this year's anniversary collection. We will use RuthieG's folder for all uploads please!
This collection will close on 31st July in order for it to be catalogued in time for the 10th anniversary of LibriVox on 10th August 2015 (or at 100 submissions, whichever comes sooner). This, unless something extraordinary happens, will be the only volume.

NEW READERS: Please see the information below the Magic Window.

1. Record
  • At the BEGINNING Say: "[Title of Work], by [Author Name]" "This is recorded to celebrate the 10th anniversary of LibriVox. All Librivox Recordings are in the public domain. For more information or to volunteer, please visit Librivox.org".
    For short poems, it's acceptable to use a variation such as "Recorded for the LibriVox 10th Anniversary Collection by...your name".
  • At the END, say: "End of [Title], by [Author Name]" If you wish, you may also say: "Read by...your name."
    Or, if the alternative short poetry disclaimer has been used, please add: "This recording is in the public domain."
  • Please leave 5 seconds of silence at the end of your recording or 10 seconds if longer than 30 minutes.
2. Use the following metadata and file name:
  • ID3 Tags:
    • • Title/Name: [Title]
      • Artist: [Author Name]
      • Album: LibriVox 10th Anniversary Collection
    3. Export your recording to an mp3 file at 128kpbs using the following filename:
    • File Name: Put file name all in lowercase, and the title all in one word (no leading articles i.e. the, a, an, and NO SPACES): 10anni_title_author_yourinitials_128kb.mp3(all lower-case) (e.g. 10anni_tensomething_bennett_rg_128kb.mp3)
4. Upload your file with the LibriVox Uploader:

NEW READERS: Please read the Newbie Guide to Recording and do a short test recording before submitting here, just to make sure that all your settings are OK. Then please read this post carefully and refer back to it. It has all the information you need to submit a recording successfully.

The Tenth of April, 1848 - it's incredibilities. (This is a chapter from a historical book. Quote: This is but a sample of the airy, false, and fictionary foundation on which the Legend of the Tenth of April was built. These incidents of historic perversion, though bygones of half a century ago, are worth remembering.)

There is also the translation of the 10 Little Injuns:
Zehn kleine Negerlein
wikipedia has a very early text, apparently from 1885. This should be confirmed though:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zehn_kleine_Negerlein#Erste_deutsche_Version_von_F._H._Benary_.281885.29
It's not considered politically correct any longer to use the word "Neger" these days.

SPANISH

Historia de los Diez Años de la Administracion de Don Manuel Mott - por B. Vicuña Mackenna.

The "advertencia" at the beginning of the book goes from page 7 to page 13 and gives an overview of the author's sources, diaries and interviews, and the direction his book takes. Use the pdf scan of the actual book. The text formats are unreliable. Copyright 1862.
https://archive.org/details/historiadelosdi03vicu

Diez Meses de Mision a los Estados Unidos de Norte America Como Ajente Confidencial de Chile - por B. Vicuña Mackenna. Copyright 1867. Use the pdf of the actual book scan. The text scans are highly unreliable.
This book looks very interesting. According to the author, it is "...una reseña estrictamente documentada de todas mis operaciones como Ajente confidencial de Chile en los Estados Unidos de Norte-América, desde mi partida de Valparaiso en octubre de 1865 hasta mi regreso a Chile en julio de 1866." From what I can tell from sort of scanning here and there through the book, he covers his efforts to influence unofficially and somewhat covertly, the U.S. government to aid Chile in its war against Spain. During his trip he meets with many prominent people of various South American nations also involved in their own wars with Spain, which was trying to reassert its influence in Latin American countries.

Between being a full-time college student and working 20+ hours per week, I'm not able to be involved at LV these days, but I remain a loyal fan and look forward to a triumphant return sometime in the (probably distant) future.
