Audio version of Don Quijote
I have no idea how long this has been available online but I just discovered it today. It’s a complete audio version of Don Quijote de la Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes. It’s a project of the Dept. of Education of Aragon, Spain.
You can download mp3s of all 126 chapters of El Quijote to your heart’s content, free of charge. If you want to read the text while you listen, every chapter of Don Quijote is here. Enjoy!
Pity they don’t have a link for downloading all 126 chapters in one go as an archive file. Wait a minute… who am I kidding? When would I ever have time to listen to them all?
In linux you can use two commands to download all of them. It takes a while, but you can then move them to an mp3 player or something for easy access.
curl -O http://www.aularagon.org/files/espa/elquijote/p1/Parte%201%20Cap%C3%ADtulo-01-52.mp3
curl -O http://www.aularagon.org/files/espa/elquijote/p2/Parte%202%20Cap%C3%ADtulo-01-74.mp3
Those should work.
There should be brackets around the numbers 01-52 and 01-74 …
Thank you for the blog post, i was looking for some good spanish audio to listen to.
Nice one, Colin! Thanks for reminding me about cURL. I used that years ago for some scripted tasks but had forgotten all about it. BTW, it is also available for Windows: http://curl.haxx.se/download.html
Thanks much, Colin and Graham!
Mozilla has an add-on calle DownThemAll. It’s the easiest way I’ve found to download all the chapters.
I hope it’ll help you.
OK, cool. Thanks for the tip!
