Центурион, Интердом, 1991. Hardcover/Hardback. Good. Роман "Доктор Живаго" - одно из выдающихся произведений русской литературы, на протяжении долгих лет остававшееся закрытым для широкого круга читателей в нашей стране, знавших о нем только по скандальной и недобросовестной партийной критике. Незащищенность и бессмертие творческой личности, интеллигента и художника в переломные моменты жизни нашего народа - центральная тема итоговой книги лауреата Нобелевской премии Бориса Леонидовича Пастернака (1890-196О). Судьба романа, судьба его автора и ткань самого… Read More

Hardback. 1959. 567pp Feltrinelli, Milan (May 1959). Feltrinelli's first official edition of the Doctor Zhivago in Russian. (see Paolo Mancosu. Smugglers, Rebels, Pirates. 2015 ). Spine marked at the base and slightly snagged, covers very slightly marked, otherwise very good copy without dust jacket. .

Hardback. 1959. 567pp University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 2nd printing February 1959. This Russian language edition precedes that of Feltrinelli, published in May 1959 but not the CIA/Mouton edition published in September 1958. A very good copy in the original orange boards. This edition was not issued with a dust jacket. .

Hardback. 1961. 567pp Feltrinelli, Milan 1961. The revised & corrected Feltrinelli Russian language edition. 'When Pasternak saw the Mouton edition, he complained to his friends in the West that the number of misprints were so significant that they made the novel look like a different novel than the one he had written, which led to the preparation of a revised Russian edition. Jacqueline de Proyart accepted the heavy burden of revising the text, which was published by Feltrinelli in 1961'. (Paolo Mancosu, Smugglers, Rebels, Pirates. 2015). Very good copy in slightly snagged dust jacket. .

1961. 5th edition. Milano, Feltrinelli, (1961). 2 Blatt, 566 Seiten, 1 Blatt. Grüner Original-Pappband mit illustriertem Original-Schutzumschlag. - Minimal bestoßen, der Schutzumschlag mit kleineren Läsuren. Seltene russische Ausgabe, die bei Feltrinelli in Mailand erschienen ist. Das Nobel-Preis Komitee hatte Pasternak (1890-1960) für den Literatur-Nobel Preis vorgeschlagen. Aber eine russische Ausgabe seines Buches "Doktor Schiwago" existierte nicht, sie durfte in Russland bis 1988 nicht erscheinen. So wurde mit Hilfe des amerikanischen Geheimdienstes dem Nobel Preis Komitee eine russische Vorab-Ausgabe vorgelegt, der Verleger zwar benannt, aber das Copyright verschwiegen. Daraufhin stand Feltrinelli unter Druck. Er hatte es zwar verlegt, diese Ausgabe war nicht redigiert und voller Fehler. Der CIA bezahlte daraufhin die Druckkosten. Pasternak wurde für den Nobel Preis vorgeschlagen, die sowjetische Kulturpolitik setzte ihm dann Repressalien aus. Er wurde aus der Schriftsteller-Vereinigung… Read More

Ann Arbor: Michigan University Press, 1959. Second printing of Rausen 'Michigan' edition. Original cloth, gilt lettered, 567pp.. Owner inscription (name blacked out, Chicago 1964) to front free endpaper. Scrape resulting in tear to dust-wrapper on upper cover, dust-wrapper yellowing at edges but not greatly. Apart from tear to d.w. a very good, bright and tight copy. In original brick-red cloth, with dust-wrapper designed by Ronald Stachowiak, priced at $6.50 (Kroch and Brentano label) and with 'Michigan' in Roman and Cyrillic lettering to spine base. The first 5,000 printed were published without a dust-wrapper and spine printed only with author and title. These were over-subscribed and therefore quickly reprinted. The second printing went out in a dust-wrapper. The two printings contain minor typographical differences. The contract to publish the first printing (supposed to be 1958) was actually only fully signed on 31st December 1959. See Mancosu p. 159
