For the first time in Vietnam, 26 audio books featuring popular local
and foreign titles have been released by a local publisher in HCM City
on Sept 15.
An initiative of Phuong Nam Books, the publications target both chidren and adults who can now listen to their favourite stories and essays read out for them in their cars, homes and other places.
More importantly, the books will be of considerable help to people who are blind or suffer from other forms of impaired vision.
The titles include the world famous Chicken Soup books by Jack Canfield, works by Italian writer Edmondo de Amicis as well as famous novels and short stories by Tran Thuy Mai, Do Hong Ngoc, Nguyen Ngoc Tu, Pham Thi Ngoc Lien, Luu Thi Luong, Di Li and other Vietnamese authors.
About 40 musicians, singers and people with sonorous, emotional voices were invited to produce the audio books.
The company plans more audio books for children featuring fairy tales by Grimm, Andersen and Saint Exypery as well as works by To Hoai and Phung Quan.
It has also announced that the copyright for all its audio books will be given to the Audio Books Library two months after they are released. The library will then deliver the books to benefit the sight-impaired community nationwide, covering at least 84 schools and organisations.
Nguyen Huong Duong, director of the library, said that her library needs 30,000 tapes each year to fulfil the needs of blind children, but it only receives 1,000 titles and tapes at present.
Nguyen Thanh Thuy, director of Phuong Nam Books, and the main person behind the audio books production, also said that the company was negotiating with mobile phone service providers VinaPhone, Mobiphone, and Viettel to carry the audiobooks to a wider audience.
She also hopes the books will be popularised on the radio soon.
Meanwhile, the company has launched a contest to find people with attractive voices and talent to work on audio books that it plans to launch in the future./.
