TURGENEV, Ivan Sergeevich (1818-1883). Zapiski okhotnika. [A Sportsman's Sketches.] Moscow: at the University Press, 1852.
The first edition of Turgenev's first major work, a collection of short stories 'said to have produced on the future Alexander II a very strong impression and [which] is considered to be one of the factors that led to the abolition of serfdom' (Kilgour). It was 'a great social as well as literary event. [The] consistent presentation of the serf as a being not only human, but superior in humanity to his masters, made a loud protest against the system of serfdom' (Mirsky, pp.194-5). These vignettes were first published serially in Sovremennik, the periodical founded by Pushkin in 1836. Kilgour 1220; Smirnov-Sokol'skii, Moia biblioteka, 1199.
Two volumes in one, twelvemo (210 x 135mm). (Spotting throughout, as often with this title; small area of browning on the title from the bookplate facing that leaf.) Contemporary black cloth, flat spine ruled and lettered in gilt (rebacked preserving the original spine). Provenance: Edition et librairie russe, Paris (bookseller's label) – Sotheby's New York, 13 December 2002, lot 157.
