| Quote: | | Trilby, published in 1894, fits into the gothic horror genre which was undergoing a revival during the Fin de siècle and is one of the most popular novels of its time, perhaps the second best selling novel of the Fin de siècle period after Bram Stoker's Dracula. The story of the poor artist's model Trilby O'Ferrall, transformed into a diva under the spell of the evil musical genius Svengali, created a sensation. Soap, songs, dances, toothpaste, and Trilby, Florida were all named for the heroine, and a variety of soft felt hat with an indented crown (worn in the London stage production of a dramatization of the novel) came to be called a trilby. The plot inspired Gaston Leroux's 1910 potboiler Phantom of the Opera and the innumerable works derived from it, and introduced the phrase "in the altogether" (meaning "completely unclothed") to the English language. (Summary from Wikipedia) |
- How to claim a part, and 'how it all works' here
To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are “up for grabs.” Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you’d like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
- New to recording?
Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
- Is there a deadline?
We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim (or by the target completion date, whatever is sooner). Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it’ll go back to the pool. There’s no shame in this; we’re all volunteers and things happen. The target completion date for this project is April 30, 2010.
- Where do I find the text?
Source text (please only read from this text!): http://manybooks.net/pages/mauriergother07trilby/
- Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)!
If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.

Neeru, it's all ready to go.
I enjoyed this book when I read it a few years ago. I think it'll be a great project. I'm happy to read French if there is a problem finding readers who are willing.

And Chris, as of now, I'm keeping "parts" as "parts", because there seems to be no other way to deal with it. But suggestions are welcome, of course.

Yeah, right, there's enough horror in this book even without the French.  Come on, act like the brave and courageous man you are and take up a section! *nudge*

Stav, thank you for volunteering to DPL for us. It's always good to have someone looking out for slips and quiet recordings early after a section is posted. Saves so much time in the long run.

Well, at least he didn't fart in my general direction!
Ok, Neeru. Since you are so effective at twisting my arm, I will take a stab at section 13 as I saw very little French in there.
