Reply to comment by jefrye in Found an old edition of ‘The Count Of Monte Cristo’ in a second hand book store. by Parzzzzival

I just checked and there’s no mention about who translated it :(

I can tell you it's definitely not Robin Buss—his translation was first published sometime in the 2000s.

Well, only thing I could do now is to read it after finishing ‘House of leaves’ (my current read). And I hope this edition of Monte Cristo will sell for a lot after many years, lol

Until Buss, most translations of Monte Cristo were anonymous (and a couple of named translators were actually only editing the first anonymous version).
