Update:
1. The Polish copyright law says, as far as I understand, that the copyright is 
valid for 70 years after the work was published. So I think I can translate the 
1929 and/or the 1931 version. The 1931 version is complete with all three parts 
and I haven't found any big difference between this one and the 1974 Czytelnik 
edition.

2. 1929 and 1931 editions have the same preface written by Juliusz Kaden-
Bandrowski. In fact they look identical, except that the 1929 edition is 
incomplete and the 1931 edition is complete. I wonder how that happened. 

3.The first page of 1931 version says the story was originally published for 
the first time in French in installments. That doesn't mean it was originally 
written in French, though. If there was a translater from Polish to French, I 
wonder who that was, just out of curiousity.

4. Nothing about T. Ordon or the Russian translater so far. In fact the preface 
to the 1930 Russian version is quite interesting but it's anonymous.
