"Volume" is a mistake, I'm sorry. You should read it "title".

Many thanks, Nejat, for setting me right.

But what do you mean by "volumes"? The original volumes, i.e. each part of
the book is one volume? If so, then Unzeitig almost matched Ferid Namik
Hansoy with 47 volumes (including Michel's works).

Still, a great tribute belongs to Ferid Namik Hansoy. The more so, when you
told me about his accuracy. Vaclav Netusil (a contemporary of your
translator), having 39 volumes translated was not so accurate. First,
because of the communist regime in which he translated (many omissions of
religious parts), and second, because of grave cuts (sometimes even of whole
chapters) in novels published in a cheap edition.

Vitezslav Unzeitig, on the contrary, was rather accurate, but the synthax
seems equally strange, since our language developed very quickly over the
last century.

Sincerely

Jan
