The Lady of the Camellias
Hi. I'm new to this forum & hoped that someone there might be able to help me out. I absolutely love Lady of the Camellias by Dumas, fils and want to buy a copy for a friend. But I've been having trouble finding the book in shops and don't know which translations are decent. I have a copy that was published by Heron Books (it doesn't say which year or who translated it into English).
Could anyone recommend a decent current translation to English of this book that I might be able to order from Amazon or a local bookshop?
Look for this title on Abe.com .....
Do an advance search with these three publisher: Limited Editions Club, Heritage Press, Easton Press. Their prices will vary from $10 to $75, depending upon the publisher. A Limited Editions Club copy illustrated by Marie Laurencin can be as high as $600, which I am sure you do not want to pay. Don't forget the 1930s movie with Greta Garbo and Robert Taylor. A real tear jerker.
I don't remember an artist in The Razor's edge ....
was she in there with her real name? Or how do you recognize her. She (Marie Laurencin) illustrated Camille in 1937. I would love to have a copy but in Fine condition they sell for about $600. She signed all 1500 printed copies in pencil.
