Hi all, I'm turning to your expertise to answer this question.
When were the first non-French printings of TTM available? I know there was an English translation in the 1850's, but what about other languages?
I am writing a historical short story where the heroine is Russian, but she is a big Dumas fan. The story is set in 1861-62, so I need editions that she might have. She's multi-lingual, and reads English, German, Danish, and Norwegian in addition to her native tongue. Yes, I could use the English translation, but she's the type who likes to practice her other languages so I think it would be more I interesting to have her working to improve one of her less used languages. She starts the story on a trans-atlantic voyage from Le Havre to New York, which will take weeks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I'll use your name as a character in the story. I haven't named any of her fellow passengers yet.
