{{Tr|Marie-Thérèse Noiset}}. New complete translation restoring the anti-US and anti-British passages that were omitted in Gordon's 1896 translation. This translation begins: "When a trip begins badly, it rarely ends well. At least this is an opinion that the four musicians, whose instruments were lying on the ground, would surely have a right to maintain. Indeed, the carriage they had taken at the final station of the railroad had just tipped over onto the shoulder of the road."

Data from Amazon.com as of 2015-06-05. New complete translation by Marie-Thérèse Noiset (the 1896 translation was abridged.)
