Camilla: or A Picture of Youth, by Fanny Burney(1752-1840)
Note: neerajanagarajan and I will bc this project together.
Click here to be notified by email when this book is complete!
| Quote: | Camilla is Frances Burney's third novel. It became very popular upon its publication in 1796. Jane Austen referred to it, among other novels, in her novel Northanger Abbey:
“'And what are you reading, Miss — ?' 'Oh! It is only a novel!' replies the young lady, while she lays down her book with affected indifference, or momentary shame. 'It is only Cecilia, or Camilla, or Belinda'; or, in short, only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best–chosen language."
This is the story of Camilla, Her beloved but selfish brother Lionel, her sisters Eugenia and Lavinia, and their extremely beautiful but thoughtless cousin Indiana on the months proceeding their marriages. Camilla is deeply in love with Edgar and he loves her back. However, on the advice of a friend, decides to make sure that she is free of fault. She has the luck to find herself in lot of uncomplimentary and comic situations which doesn't make Edgar's wish easy. Meanwhile, Camilla, on the advice of her father, is trying to make sure that Edgar really loves her before marrying him. Will they marry at the end? And will her sisters and cousin be happy? If you want to know the answers to these questions, and many more, please read the book. Summary by Stav Nisser. |
1. 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.
2. New to recording?
Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
3. 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 November 19th 2011
4. Where do I find the text?
(please only read from this text!) http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/b/burney/fanny/camilla/

Start of recording (Intro)- "Book (number) Chapter [number] of Camilla. - This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public
domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org" - If you wish, say:
"Recording by [your name]"

Need noise-cleaning?

ID3 V2 tags
(To find out more about ID3 tags, go to our wiki:
http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/What_is_ID3)

Here I'm, Stav!
Very happy working with you on this biggie.
Thank you for the lovely summary, Stav! 
Anyone looking to claim sections from this book, please make sure you read your section title on the Magic Window before taking up your section - it might be a combination of two or more sections.
A request to any PL/DPL who might take up this project - please check if all the submissions have all the chapters specified on the MW for that particular section number.
Thanks! 
ETA -- Anyone claiming sections from this book -- PLEASE COPY-PASTE THE SECTION TITLE FROM THE MAGIC WINDOW FOR THE TITLE ID3 TAG.

OK, you're all set. I don't envy you the job of putting all the section titles in for 98 sections.
I've taken the liberty of fixing some of the formatting issues that crept in. It looked as though the template was edited in an editor that wrapped the ends of long lines. It's usually better to turn off word-wrapping if you can, to avoid those formatting issues.
I also capitalized the title and author name in the ID3 tags. I noticed that you particularly mentioned the case, so if I've overstepped the bounds, please just change them back to all lower case, as they were.
Well, this should be good.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for the corrections, and for telling me what you have corrected. Next time, I'll have a chance to do it as it should be done... No, the only case I menshened was that I want that the chapter numbers would be read at the begining and not the section numbers (as some sections are with more than 1 chapters). You did it just right.
Stav.

I've claimed the first chapter for myself.
I'm almost done with the MW, but looks like I've made an error while counting the sections. We'll need 11 lines more on the MW. I'm sorry for the trouble, Stav and Chris.

I've added the extra slots in the MW. Don't forget to change the number templates from ## to ###, will you?
