Details
PUSHKIN, Alexander (1799-1837). Evgenii Onegin, roman v stikhakh. [Eugene Onegin. A Novel in Verse.] St Petersburg: at the Press of the Commission to Prepare State Papers, 1837.
The last lifetime edition of Pushkin's masterpiece, published shortly before his fateful duel, in an attractive quasi-miniature format. This edition was very popular, with the edition selling out within a week of Pushkin's death; 'as a favored and very "read" edition, it rarely survives in immaculate condition" (Smirnov-Sokol'skii). RBH and ABPC record only one copy having been offered at auction. Smirnov-Sokol'skii, Pushkin, 36.
16mo (95 x 65mm). (Small old repair in the inside margin of the half title; occasional light soiling and occasional light spotting.) Contemporary dark brown polished calf, flat spine gilt in an all-over panel, edges sprinkled red, aquamarine coated endpapers (extremities rubbed).
