DOSTOEVSKY, Fyodor (1821-1881). Bednye liudi. Roman. [Poor Folk. A Novel]. St Petersburg: F. Stellovsky, 1865.
The definitive edition of Dostoevsky's debut novel, with the author's final revisions to the text. First published to great acclaim in a periodical in 1846, it continued to be revised by Dostoevsky for the subsequent editions of 1847, 1860 and 1865. This edition was published by Stellovsky, with whom Dostoevsky entered into a contract soon after his brother Mikhail died, burdening the author with his debts and dependents. The contract stipulated that if Dostoevsky did not complete a new novel for Stellovsky by 1 November 1866, all rights to all Dostoevsky's past and future works would belong to Stellovsky. Dostoevsky discharged the obligation by delivering the manuscript for The Gambler on the very last day permitted. Not in Kilgour.
16mo (176 x 116mm). Contemporary quarter morocco, spine lettered in gilt (edges a little rubbed).
