DOSTOEVSKY, Fyodor (1821-1881). Podrostok. [The Adolescent, sometimes The Raw Youth.] St Petersburg: Transhel, 1876.

Three parts in one volume, octavo (208 x 140mm). (Occasional spotting; occasional light soiling; some leaves with small losses in the margin.) Contemporary Russian half leather, flat spine ruled and lettered in gilt (spine and hinges repaired; corners renewed). Provenance: 'N.G.' (Cyrillic initials at spine foot) – signature in purple ink on the first part title – Lithuanian bookseller (stamp on verso of last leaf).
