Details
MANDEL'SHTAM, Osip Emil'evich (1891-1938). Shum vremeni. [The Noise of Time.] St Petersburg: Vremia, 1925.
The first edition of this important collection of autobiographical sketches; it is the source of many of the details that are known about Mandle'shtam's childhood, and which are published here for the first time. Following his fall from political grace in 1923, Mandel'shtam was not able to publish these sketches in periodicals: his name had been removed from all the lists of permitted contributors to all the literary magazines. ABPC and RBH record only one copy having been offered at auction (a rebound copy, Sotheby's, 28 November 2012, lot 176).
Octavo (190 x 138mm). (Some repaired marginal tears.) Original illustrated wrappers by E.F. Kiliusheva (corner of rear cover and head of spine repaired; some wear at the extremities).
