Hi there! I've been encouraged to post here, because I believe I've got something that may be of interest to some of you.

For my birthday this year, a friend of mine dug up a copy of the Oeuvres de Camille Desmoulins. It's absolutely amazing. And since it isn't the easiest book in the world to get, I'm going to be typing it out and posting it for other people to read. This may take a while, but I mean to update at least every few days. If you're interested, it'll be at [livejournal.com profile] cordelier. The first four sections of La France libre are already there.

It is entirely in French, so I apologise to anyone not fluent, but I can do very bad translating on a very small scale if asked. Discussion of any sort is of course very welcome. :D

I hope this is of some interest!

-Claire

Dear Claire,

Thank you so much for your intentions!
"Oeuvres de Camille Desmoulins", I hardly believe my eyes. This book is definitely NOT easy to get nowadays! :)

"I'm going to be typing it out and posting it for other people to read".
Do, please, it will be so nice of you!

I've never heard of the book, but it sure sounds interesting. Typing it all out in a journal, wow, that's something I would describe as unbelievable kind and absolutely not a task one should shoulder if one has a patience as bad as mine ;)

Oooh, handwriting! Makes it all so even-more-real... though possibly also even-more-hard-to-read I suppose, hee.

*pok'd!* I am DF. It's just that I am incredibly lazy busy lazy and absent three quarters of the time ^^;
