Needless to say, the translation was done some time ago, so it might seem old-fashioned. Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated. I would like to find a completely unabridged translation of it, but I'm having trouble figuring out which one would be best. (While not fully at the same level, I can recommend The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Luiz Zafon to alleviate the worst withdrawal symptoms or one of Donna Tartt's books. The scenes you paint in your head from Dumas' words outdo anything on the screen. Dantes is imprisoned on the island prison of Chateau d'If for 13 years, where he plots revenge against those who betrayed him. The most abbridged version was only 230 pages long. Other terminology resources I love this story and have seen two film versions, but have never read the book!

Count of Monte Cristo translation I got the Project Gutenberg epub and I was wondering what translation it is and how people feel about it. Some of the other translations were done more than a century ago so the language is less accessible. Although Rainis allegedly took a few liberties with the original text (eliminating a few paragraphs, I think? Nor can I find it online. Thanks! I remember the unabridged version being something like 1300 pages long, Where as this one is 1100. (watched Zorro last night, too.) Copyright © 1999-2020 ProZ.com - All rights reserved.

So I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation for which version of The Count of Monte Cristo I should get. It is published by Penguin Classics.I recommend the Robin Buss translation, it's a very natural read.I spent a lot of time debating this question, I even went to the library and grabbed half a dozen different editions just so I could compare. I chose it because as a work of popular fiction The Count Of Monte Cristo in its original French was supposed to be highly accessible. Finally i found a complete one with close to 1500 pages...New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be castThis is a moderated subreddit.

It's one of those books that make you wish there was a sequel or two. The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my favourite books and I've read it countless times. The Robin Buss translation is the best English translation available. It is our intent and purpose to foster and encourage in-depth discussion about all things related to books, authors, genres, or publishing in a safe, supportive environment. I have it in French, but also an English version first published by Collins of London and Glasgow in 1884, with an introduction by Richard Church, which curiously enough doesn't name the translator. I couldn't say if this is the 'best' translation but it is a fabulous story that no movie can do justice. So currently reading through The Brothers Karamazov and planning on reading Count of Monte Cristo over the summer on holiday.Just wondering which translation is seen as the 'best' and why?Robin Buss translation is the best of all. Reviewing applications can be fun and only takes a few minutes. As a teacher, she walked to school and back.I love this work. The Robin Buss translation is much more modern and actually closer to how people would have read it in France while it was being released. The Count of Monte Cristo quizzes about important details and events in every section of the book. The ISBN of my copy is 9780141392462. I looked inside my B&N Count of Monte Cristo and I am sad to discover it does not list the translator. I couldn't say if this is the 'best' translation but it is a fabulous story that no movie can do justice. What a great way to unwind from a day of financial translation...The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.I love this work.
