PUSHKIN, Alexander (1799-1837). Stikhotvorenija. [Poems.] Moscow: A. Poplavsky, [1908].
The first edition with Pushkin’s verse banned in Russia, a ‘legendary book’ (Glezer). It featured verse which, during Pushkin’s lifetime, had been previously unpublished or published in very limited print-runs due to censorship, e.g., ‘Tsar’ Nikita’, ‘Andre Chenier’ and excerpts from ‘Gavrijliada’. However, the entire edition was destroyed upon the censors’ orders before it reached bookstores. Smirnov-Sokol’skii managed to obtain a copy, cut in three parts, from the printer Poplavsky, and few others survived. In the 1970s, the bookdealer L.A. Glezer recorded having seen five intact copies in Russia. Rare: RBH records no other copies being offered at auction. Smirnov-Sokol’skii, Moia biblioteka, 1038. L.A. Glezer, Reminiscences, p.113.
Octavo (187 x 125mm). (Age-browning, minimal spotting.) Modern half calf, marbled boards, marbled endpapers, preserving the original pictorial wrappers (upper wrapper minimally trimmed, lower a little soiled); modern slipcase.
