Well, there I am. Verne's Five Weeks in A Balloon (fully illustrated, with footnotes) was sure a lot of work. The french version is done. In the next days I will ready the german and english versions. (that will be a little easier, I think)Feedback welcome!

Great! Are you going to do more of Verne's books in French? It's one of the projects I had pending for the future.

The english cover will be on the english version. Got even an original cover of the german version.
I actually found that cover right after finishing the upload

It's only v 1.1, though.

details, details.

very nice. i'm keeping both versions though ; that red cover is really pretty.

The nicest Verne cover IMHO will be in the next book, Capitaine Hatteras. That one is really striking (and red, too)

zelda_pinwheel · 01-24-2009, 01:54 PM

i'll look out for that one then. there's something about a red cover that promises adventure and excitement. maybe i should have got a red liseuse.

When I was going through my 1001 list to see what was available on MR, I was suprised at a few texts that weren't uploaded, but were available on Gutenberg. Here's some of them.

Wells, HG Tono-Bungay
Swift, Jonathon Tale of a Tub
Stevenson, Robert Master of Ballantrae
Sterne, Laurence Sentimental Journey
Smollett, Tobias Humphry Clinker
Scott, Sir Walter Rob Roy

HarryT · 01-25-2009, 04:30 AM

Look forward to seeing your versions of them!

Thanks for the heads-up lilac_jive - these would all be great additions to the MR library!

I'll have a crack at 'Tono-Bungay'

- probably take me a while though!
