Is there a translation in English that doesn't do the highly annoying B--- D--- nonsense?

Also, the 49p version (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Les-Miserabl...8780366&sr=1-1) seems to be okay, looking quickly at the preview. |

You can get epub and lrf versions here on MR too. But sorry, haven't checked if they use D--- or not.

That's funny, because I've been listening to P&P on audiobook recently, and it never occurred to me until now that the militia wasn't really in "Blankshire".

Is there a version of Les Misérables with all the words and no --- or ——?

Hey guys, is there a free kindle version of Charles Wilbour's translation of Les Miserables anywhere out there? The only kindle version I've been able to find is the 10 dollar Modern Library version, but it's in the public domain and should be available for free... I'm kind of suspecting a case of copyfraud, in fact.
Or, alternatively, is there a non-free version of a truly non-abridged translation? I want COMPLETELY unabridged, which is why the Hapgood and Denny translations are out. I'm sort of despairing of ever finding a copy that fits the above criteria. I'm thinking of either reading a hardcopy version, or waiting until my French gets better. |

it was the first novel I ever read in French. It's actually not that difficult compared with some other French writers of the 19th century. If you have any French you might try it, or even side by side with an English version.
I read it 52 years ago and have never reread it, so I retain more an impression than a full memory. |
