I could only find the French original (here: http://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/L’Éton...mission_Barsac) and a German print version (http://www.j-verne.de/verne76.html) but I'm afraid that's not what you're looking for.
And it may be that any English translation is still copyright protected.

There are lots of Jules Verne books which aren't available in English. This does seem to be among them, I'm afraid.

Yeah... After all it came out in 1919.. I'm afraid I have to order the paperbacks from amazon or search for the mediocre greek translation I read 20 years ago. Thanks for trying. I'm a new one here, this forum seems huge.

I'm surprised that I haven't seen any of Kenneth Roberts' historical novels anywhere (not referring specifically to MR). By my admittedly limited knowledge on the subject, his 1957 death should place his works in the public domain in Life+50 countries, no? I've seen a few of his pre-1923 essays, but none of his historical novels. Am I missing some technicality of copyright law that is keeping these works out of Canadian PD?

No, they are in the Canadian public domain.

Thanks Harry! I'll hold out hope to see them available someday, then.

You won't find any here. He only died in 2007. None of his books are public domain yet.

Yes, I have it. I'm sure that lots of other people have it, too. Are you conducting some sort of ownership survey?

Just how many times does it need to be said?
MOBILEREAD IS NOT A PIRATE BOOK SITE. THIS IS THE VERY LAST TIME I'M GOING TO SAY THIS. ANYONE WHO ASKS FOR A COPYRIGHTED BOOK FROM THIS MOMENT FORWARD WILL BE BANNED.
