Bump.
I'm going for the penguin edition for Monte Cristo but no idea about the trilogy.

Anyone now?

Dumas isn't an author where translation matters, his appeal is the stories he tells and the plot crashing together.

I thought some editions lack certain sexual parts or something like that.

>>7749616
just get unabridged works and you'll be fine. really good shit.

i can only offer advice on monte cristo

the buss translation from penguin is very good, and the anonymous translation from the 19th century still holds up wonderfully. oxford, everyman's and a bunch of others use this

Yes. The 19th century translations removed the sexual innuendo in the Musketeers adventures and in the lesbian daughter from Monte Cristo

>>7751282
what are the translations I should stick with then?

>>7751282
>>7751290
that's correct, but many of the updated editions, like oxford, put those parts back in. they are complete

I'm going with Oxford for d'Artagnan Romances then.

Anyone knows if Penguin Clothbound Classics are worth the price? Never bought one. Pic related.

Does anyone know who translated the Barnes and Noble leatherbound version?
