Synopsis: "M. Jules Verne has the knack of it. He knows how to make the scientifically romantic story. You may not know what a 'nyctalop' was, but if you saw one flapping its wings around the dark fortress in the Carpathians, you would run for it, as did Nic Deck. Jules Verne brings in all the most recent and approved scientific apparatus. Orfanik is head conjurer, and in his trial he explains how he brought into play for a wicket purpose a variety of ingenious inventions." --entire review, NY Times 1894-11-19 p3 "Jules Verne's Romance"

1893^ⓘTranslated by an unknown hand. This translation begins: "This story is not fantastic; it is merely romantic. Are we to conclude that it is not true, its unreality being granted? That would be a mistake. We live in times when everything can happen—we might almost say everything has happened. If our story does not seem to be true to-day, it may seem so to-morrow, thanks to the resources of science, which are the wealth of the future." Among 7 "New Holiday Juveniles" advertised by its US publisher, NY Times 1894-12-15 p3; this one with 38 full-page illustrations "... The supernatural fears of the peasants of Transylvania have much to do with the first part of the book, but that is all. ..."	English	The Castle of the Carpathians
1963^ⓘTranslated by an anonymous hand and edited by I. O. Evans. This translation begins: "This story is not fantastic; it is simply romantic and nobody would think of classing it as legendary."	English	Carpathian Castle
1967^ⓘTranslated by Vladimir Colin. Title means "The Castle of the Carpathians". This translation begins: "Povestirea aceasta nu e fantastică, ci numai romanțioasă. Dat fiind că e neverosimilă, trebuie s-o socotim oare și neadevărată? Ar fi o greșeală. Aparținem unei vremi când totul se întâmplă, mai că avem dreptul să spunem: când totul s-a întâmplat. Dacă nu-i de crezut azi, povestirea noastră poate fi verosimilă mâine, grație resurselor științifice care constituie zestrea viitorului, iar atunci nu-i va da nimănui prin minte s-o treacă în rândul legendelor."

2006^ⓘTranslated by Charlotte Mandell. This translation begins: "This story is not fantastic; it is only romantic. Should we conclude that it isn't true, given its implausibility? That would be a mistake. We are living in a time when anything can happen - one can almost say, when everything has happened. If our tale is not very likely today, it can be so tomorrow, thanks to the scientific resources that are the lot of the future, so no one should take it into his head to rank it among legends."
