Use French name for novel?

[edit]

After a little bit of google-searching, I've found that Heinsius' "Mirandor" novel is far more widely known by its French name: L' Avanturier Hollandois, Ou la Vie & Les Avantures Divertissantes & Extraordinaires D'un Hollandois (translated roughly as The Dutch Adventurer, or the Life and the Entertaining and Extraordinary Adventures of a Dutchman). Shouldn't it be referred to by its French name in the article, so that anyone who wants to look it up will have at least a small chance of success in doing so?

Here's a link to one of the Google Books pages for it under the French name: http://books.google.com/books?id=6HvTygAACAAJ&source=gbs_similarbooks

There are none under the English name.
