PUSHKIN, Alexander (1799-1837). Bakhchisaraiskii fontan. [The Fountain of Bakhchisarai.] Moscow: by August Semen at the Imperial Medical-Surgical Academy, 1824.
The first edition of one of literature's most famous love poems, sometimes described as the first Russian bestseller in verse. Pushkin had visited the celebrated fountain in 1820, and was somewhat dismissive of the work which he claims to have written for the money (he received 3000 rubles). His friend P.A. Viazemskii provides a preface defending the romantic subject. The Fountain of Bakhchisarai was published in March 1824 as Pushkin was being transferred from Kishinev to Odessa to join the staff of Count Vorontsov, Governor-General of the southern provinces – so-called 'New Russia'. The work closes with an extract from Voyage in the Crimea by I.M. Murav'ev-Apostol'. Kilgour 876; Smirnov-Sokol'skii, Pushkin, 3.
Octavo (167 x 105mm). With the half-title, and with the errata (minor spotting). 19th-century Russian green half leather, flat spine gilt in compartments and lettered in Cyrillic, collector's monogram at the foot in Latin script (corners lightly rubbed). Provenance: 'L.S.' (binding).
