Last Dumas novel finally available in English though only print right now
The famous last novel - sadly unfinished but still at a 750 page count with an outline of the ending in the preface - is finally available in English after its original publication in 2005 in France.
The French editor Claude Schopp found the book by accident around 1990 and then worked for 15 years to edit it- since it was published only as a serial and was pretty unedited due the circumstances of Dumas' death - he died at Dieppe in late 1870, 4 days before the city was conquered by the Germans, so his last will and other papers were buried at first... I got both the original French edition and the US one, and it's a great book tying up the events of The Whites and The Blues and Jehu's Companions, "solving" the mystery of Nelson's death at Trafalgar...
