Intro to Martin Eden

I am writing “Martin Eden” by Jack London in parallel text. Traditional text and PLAEN text.

It is a long story. At the time of this writing—April, 8, 2023—I have written four chapters. I may stop at four because of my health. I may  not stop at four. At any rate, readers may find the rest of the story in standard English at; https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/1056/pg1056-images.html#chap05

Hopefully, if anyone should teach the rules of PLAEN to another individual, they can learn enough traditional spelling to be helpful. And may be able to finish reading the whole book in traditional English.

PLAEN text is based on a pronunciation guide that is more alphabetic than my other spelling systems. It should be easier for beginners to learn, but maybe not significantly. The spelling will be quite different from my other spellings and traditional spelling. This will cause a lot of tripping for present readers but new readers, not so much.

It may be awhile before I get these chapters downloaded. Patience. I chose this book because a famous movie actor said it may be his favorite book. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNp10xlCd8Y
