Who is the translator of the Signet edition?
I have these translated ebook editions:
1) Norman Denny
2) Christine Donougher
3) Isabel F. Hapgood
4) Julie Rose
5) Charles E. Wilbour
Wilbour is the granddaddy of them all. This was free.
Hapgood entered the fray in 1887. This was free.
Julie Rose is too colloquial for my tastes; nevertheless, this one is highly admired.
Norman Denny is popular because of the new cover touting the film.
Christine Donougher is the one I picked up for 99 cents, and the one I'm currently reading.
