Have you compared your translation to the Arco Dr Schulman? If so how
different are they? If not, would you like to borrow my Arco?

Dear Peter,

Thanks for the reply. I am happy to hear that it will soon be available
and await it anxiously. I most certainly will still be interested in it.
I have read almost all of Verne's novels now, and about the only ones
left are those that either are not yet translated into English or are
extremely hard-to-find. I just wish I could read French. I really did
try at school, but got kicked out of French class for some practical
jokes I played on the teacher, which unfortunately she did not find
amusing even though the whole class did. Ah well! C'est la vie!

 

Anyway, veering back onto track here....thanks again, and if you know of
any other forth-coming translations I will be really happy to hear.

Translators really ROCK!!

        Dear Gillian,
        Thanks so much for your interest in my translation. Indeed, it
should [have
        been] already published by the University of Nebraska Press,
where I hope
        it will still be published. The fault lies in its egregious
translator (me)
        who has taken so long to finish it! So many different drafts,
cuts, notes,
        changes...but I will be handing in (finally!) the final draft in
a matter
        of weeks. I hope you'll still be interested by the time it comes
out and
        feel free to ask me any questions in the meantime. It's such a
truly
        beautiful and unusual piece of Verne's!

        Help needed!
        
        I understand that there is...(or will be) a translation of The
Secret of
        Wilhelm Storitz, translated by Peter Schulman. Where can I find
this book?
        I see it mentioned in several places but no mention on it being
for sale.
        I'd appreciate any help,
        
        Cheers,
        Gillian
