I'm trying to get a copy of THE LITTLE PRINCE in Slovenian. Any suggestions on where I might find a comprehensive list of translations?

This clunky site links to a number of translations, including one in Solvenian (I didn't test the link) and boasts of a large number of covers. Maybe something there can help.

D'oh.

"Slovenian," sorry.

The only translation listed in OCLC is by Ivan Minatti, and the most recent edition in any American library (that's part of OCLC, at least) is from 1985, published in Ljubljana by a company called "Mladinska knjiga." They also have 1982 and 1976 editions by the same translator.

In Slovenian it's called Mali Princ.

Response by poster: Thanks everyone!

I can purchase it online... and it's only $50.00!

I have the Minatti translation. As a matter of fact, I bought it last year and, if memory serves, I paid about $20 for it. (Books are fairly expensive here.)

If you like I can check the prices here and let you know. Just send me an e-mail.
