Reply to comment by jefrye in The way people speak in The Count of Monte Cristo. Can someone explain? by foxdna

I know The Inferno and The Tao differ greatly depending on who did the interpretation. Would this be the same with The Count off Monte Cristo and if so which would you suggest

Robin Buss is the gold standard for Monte Cristo translators and is the one everyone will recommend, unless you have your heart set on an abridgement in which case I've heard good things about Lowell Blair. Definitely stay away from nineteenth century translations because they're often bowdlerized.
