The Idiot. A Novel in Four Parts.
by Fyodor Dostoevsky
- Used
- good
- Hardcover
New York: The Macmillan Company, 1913. Hardcover, gray cloth boards. Good/No Jacket. Scarce early American printing. 620 pages, from the Russian by Constance Garnett. From the uniform edition (7.5"" tall) of The Novels of Fyodor Dostoevsky, Volume II. Pages clean, hinges sound, but covers worn, spine darkened and ends have small tears. Originally published serially in 1868, The Idiot was Dostoevsky's personal favorite of his works. It examines the life of a truly good man, the gentle and saintly Prince Myshkin, and the unfortunate consequences of his naivete. The author employed several intense personal experiences in the novel: his own imprisonment, near-execution, and exile to Siberia; the strong impression Holbein's Dead Christ made on him in Basel; and the death of his 3-month-old infant daughter. Dostoevsky, 1821-1881, was one of the most influential writers in modern literature. His difficult life contributed to his range of ideas, psychological perception, and philosophical profundity, which made him a supreme master of the realistic novel.

New York: The Macmillan Company, [no date] c.1916. Hardcover, gray cloth boards. Good/No Jacket. Scarce early American edition. 637 pages, from the Russian by Constance Garnett. Title page is undated, but this is from the uniform edition (7.5"" tall) of The Novels of Fyodor Dostoevsky (Volume III) published in the 1910s, states that 'other volumes [are] in preparation,' and includes a folded Macmillan advertisement of their 'New 1916 Novels.' Small Brentano's sticker on rep. Wear to covers, especially darkened spine, endpapers spotted, front hinge cracking. Also known as The Devils or The Demons, and originally published in 1871-2, this is the violent and bloody tale of the sinister hero Stavrogin, a powerful example of Dostoevsky's 'great sinner who has lost his faith.' The novel follows the strange life of Nikolay Stavrogin, a brilliant and attractive but sterile & nihilistic man, with a parallel plot line tracing the revolutionary movement in Russia.

Venice: Nella tipografia Picotti, 1810. Only edition. Very Good. Octavo (24 cm); [2], 61, [1] pages. Bound in woodblock-printed polychrome wraps, with the poet's name written in ink along the spine. Only slight abrasions at the head, else about fine. The notable bibliographer Bartolommeo Gamba curated this collection of poems by his neighbor in the town of Bassano del Grappa, Giuseppe Bombardini. Bombardini's day job was in local government, rising finally to the rank of "podestà," the equivalent of the mayoralty. Among the poems written to commemorate weddings and funerals, we find Romantic sonnets dedicated to the summer night, to the Brenta, to two roses, to the month of May.
