Bottemless Women And Men

Higher The invisible forces of audiobooks


Three years ago I received a statement of VG Wort, which began with the following in the Official German paragraph:

permitted by law since 2003 without the approval not for commercial purposes duplication for, and dissemination only at individuals, unless such access is not to the work already available in a kind of sensory perception on the basis of disability makes impossible, or very, to the extent necessary to enable the access.

Entschwurbelt means and to the point "without authorization" in about the same as: get with hardly a writer, that will eingesprochen of his novels unabridged audio books and Braille libraries such as the German National Library for the Blind in Leipzig (DZB) be borrowed can. Originally related to the above approval clause works in Braille and audio book abridged versions on tape. The CD held the digitized form feed, and with DAISY standard for navigable a global, accessible multimedia documents. The acronym DAISY stands for Digital Accessible Information System (Digital Access Information System). On such a CD audio book fits with more than 40 hours duration. eintrudelte

As then, the VG-letter word, had still been an audiobook cassette of the speech. Since I do not own a tape deck, because I tape the medium (except in early youth) never could get something ready, I was interested in the content hard. So I fixed up the wrote and forgot about it. Again I had reminded him of me when I went this article at Spiegel Online read. More out of boredom, I researched after the LORD GAMMA audio book - and was surprised to learn that it apparently took a box of novel short version is a more than eleven hours full-audiobook CD.

Now it would of course be able to, I am the only one who has so far heard nothing from such audio books. So I called two friendly authors, of which I was sure they would have because of their successes and constraints Bestsellers really need to know something like this: Kai Meyer and Thomas Thiemeyer. But Nope. Instead, big surprise at the other end of the line (s).

The interesting thing about these audio books: blind and visually impaired is not only the world literature, or so-called "high literature" have been made available, but also detective stories, adventure novels and a wide range of SF and fantasy literature. For example, there beside LORD GAMMA example talking books by Thomas Thiemeyer REPTILIA, David Kenlocks DARK FIRE, Marcus Schmitt's Hammer The censor and POLYPLAY and the nearly complete catalogs of Andreas Eschbach and Kai Meyer. The latter was amazed when I told him on the phone, there would be audio books from HEX and THE SPIRIT RATHER, two novels that have not yet even been published as a regular audio books. Produced, these works from the libraries themselves, according to press release "picked up by expressive and exciting actors, radio hosts and trained speakers in three of its own recording studios.

I do not suppose that the DAISY audio book CDs pretty Cover pictures possess. Blind people can use it to do anything anyway. But the fact that they exist at all and know very few writers of this is remarkable. So I hope that I, as author of the work - can be requested from the producers at least one copy - if you do not even God is blind or visually impaired. Many a critic says although there were more authors than readers, but in this case, the loss has probably limited. An adequate cover can be designed so each author then himself.

The produced exclusively for the blind and visually impaired audio books are included for copyright reasons not commercially available, the libraries concerned, they may only offer to their users, a copy of a disabled pass or an informal letter of the ophthalmologist must be provided. Well, at least the rights of LORD GAMMA are now back with me. Is there a case that is against it, to make the audio book of the DZB production at an official, if I give my consent to this? I can hardly imagine that the DZB honored by the speaker makes a worse job as a paid by Lübbe Audio. Why should you present a visually impaired person miserable spoken audiobook?

Who wants to know if his novels exist as audio books should be on the homepage of Medibus , the media research community for blind and partially sighted people - and be prepared for surprises. I would at least like a CD of LORD GAMMA, because I want Michael Schrodt who has read the novel for the DZB, heard it said in the speaker role of an essential Morner "Arr!" ...
